If you've met Brenda Black, you've most likely been encouraged by her, drawn to her bright smile, and giggled together.  She's a wife, mom, sister, daughter, and aunt and was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer in October.  This diagnosis came as a surprise and a shock as this cancer is aggressive and can be difficult to treat.  However, Brenda is a strong fighter and needs your help!

Shortly before her diagnosis in October, Brenda's husband Ted, went through an unexpected job change when the company where he worked for years shut down the office in their hometown of Red Oak, IA.  Thankfully, he was blessed with another job, but his commute is two hours a day.  

Ted and Brenda have three sons in their 20's.  Brad and Nick live in California and Aaron lives in Council Bluffs.  Currently, Brenda is working as much as she can, but the strain of treatments is exhausting and work is becoming more difficult.  

Brenda has already undergone surgery twice and is now going through chemotherapy and then radiation.  She feels strong some days and has many moments where encouragement is needed and appreciated.  Any dollar amount given will go towards the medical costs to pay for the surgeries, chemo, radiation, and office visits as well as the expenses of traveling out of town for medical visits. 


Please consider donating and please be praying for Brenda's total healing and strength for her and her family.  Every prayer, encouraging word, dollar amount, and kind gesture is greatly appreciated.  Let's help Brenda kick this cancer in the rear this year!

With love and gratitude,   
The Family of Brenda Black
