In September of 2022, at only 50 years old, my mom Jennifer was diagnosed with triple positive lobular and ductal carcinoma. She is now close to completing her first (and hopefully last) round of chemotherapy. However, she still has a long road ahead with surgery and radiation up next.
My mom’s strength and positivity through this journey has been so inspiring. She has navigated it all with the same grace as everything else life has thrown at her. She has continued to show up for her job of nearly 20 years which she truly loves and finds so rewarding. She has continued to be the same kind and selfless family member and friend we all know and love and has chosen to not be defined by breast cancer.
My mom has sacrificed everything for her kids as a single mom for most of our lives. I would give her the world if I could, and if I could take on this battle as my own I would in a heartbeat. Since I cannot, I have made it my mission to make this as easy as possible on her. This is where I need your help!
My goal with this fundraiser is to provide some financial support to help with the ever-growing cost of treatment as well as lost wages incurred while she is recovering from surgery. My wish for my mom is that she is able to focus on healing and recovery and not worry about expenses piling up. I want to keep her stress level low and her spirits high! Please support by donating and/or sharing if you have the capacity to do so.
With my deepest love and appreciation,
