❤️ Help Vanessa Through Breast Cancer Treatment and Recovery

Hi, my name is Adrienne, and I’m fundraising on behalf of my sister, Vanessa Natelli-Millsaps. She’s navigating a very challenging time as she undergoes chemotherapy for breast cancer, with a bilateral mastectomy and reconstructive surgery scheduled in the coming months.

Vanessa has faced cancer once before, but this time has been especially tough. Even though it’s a different diagnosis, going through cancer again has been overwhelming. That’s why I’m helping her share her story and why we’re reaching out for support.

Why We Are Asking for Help

Even with insurance, the cost of cancer care is overwhelming. Beyond surgery, Vanessa is actively in chemotherapy, which requires:

* Frequent lab work

* Regular imaging scans

* Ongoing specialist appointments

* Post-chemo follow-up care

* Medications and supplies

Every appointment comes with its own copay, coinsurance, or out-of-pocket charge, and these costs add up quickly. Treatment doesn’t pause — and neither do the bills.

To make things harder, many financial assistance programs for breast cancer patients are already fully allocated through early 2026, leaving Vanessa without the support she hoped for. At the same time, her ability to work has been greatly reduced due to treatment, fatigue, and appointments, making it difficult to keep up with basic living expenses.

She’s carrying so much, and we want to help lighten the load.

How Your Support Will Help

All funds raised will go directly toward covering Vanessa’s essential medical and living expenses, including:

Medical Costs

* Chemotherapy treatments

* Lab work and diagnostic scans

* Specialist visits

* The upcoming mastectomy and reconstructive surgery

* Post-operative care and supplies

* Medications

* Copays, coinsurance, and deductibles

Living Expenses

* Groceries

* Transportation to and from treatment

* Basic day-to-day needs while her ability to work is limited

Your support will allow Vanessa to focus on what matters most: healing, resting, and getting through treatment without the constant fear of financial strain.

How You Can Make a Difference

Every donation, share, and kind message makes a real difference, helping Vanessa gain a little more stability and peace of mind as she focuses on healing. Thank you for standing with her during this difficult time — your support and kindness mean more to our family than words can express.
