They say cancer often hits those you least expect and when you least expect it. I’m putting this campaign together for my good friend Edna who’s really like a sister. When she told me she had breast cancer my heart dropped. This strong willed, witty, funny, caring, super active and healthy woman was the last person I would have expected to give me this news. Edna found out right before her 36th birthday she had breast cancer.
I know that many of you reading this either know someone that has fought this devastating disease or have fought it yourself. Family members, friends, coworkers, we all know someone that has lived through the trials and tribulations that come with this disease.
While it’s expected that cancer will take a toll on the body, it’s often overlooked how much it can derail all plans for the future. My goal is for Edna to have as much normalcy in her life while she fights through this like the warrior she is!
This GoFundMe account has been set up to help Edna continue to combat the effects of Cancer on her body, but also to keep her plans for the future intact. Here’s how:
Chemotherapy and the related treatments to fight Cancer are expensive. VERY expensive. And while Edna has health insurance - costly premiums, high co-pays, and out-of-pocket costs for items not covered by her plan are piling up. This GoFundMe will help Edna bring the fight to this terrible disease by allowing her to get the best advice and treatment available regardless of what her provider covers.
Traveling to and from appointments in, eating healthy by staying on a chemo-directed diet, and actually paying bills – can all add up quickly. This GoFundMe will help Edna keep on keeping on while she is fully focused on treatment and recovery.
Cancer can take a lot from you – including your hair. Unfortunately, treatments that help prevent that from happening are often not covered by insurance. This GoFundMe will give Edna access to ColdCaps – a breakthrough treatment that has been proven to help women keep their own locks – if you know Edna; you know she has worked on taking care of her natural curls for years after heat damage. Fellow curly girls you know the deal!
As you can see, there is a lot that can be done by giving to Edna’s GoFundMe, but perhaps more important than all of these wonderful, hopeful things above is that by offering our help, we can show Edna how much we love her and how much we all have her back.
Whether you’re a family member, a friend, a co-worker, a schoolmate, an acquaintance, or just a friend of a friend moved by her story – we can all do a little something to make a HUGE difference for Edna. ANY sized contribution to this fund can pay one bill, offer one more ColdCap, and provide one more healthy meal. No amount is too small. Thanks in advance for helping the cause! Please share this campaign to continue to get the word out and build the momentum to further assistance.
The next year will be a difficult one for Edna – physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially – but one thing we know for sure, Cancer picked the wrong girl to f#ck with! #Ednastrong
