<div>On June 11, 2025, my world shifted in a way I could never have imagined. At the age of 43, I was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of breast cancer - triple negative breast cancer. Though this journey is one of the hardest I’ve ever faced, I am choosing to walk it with faith, courage, and hope.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I am a single mother to my 15 year-old daughter, balancing work, family, and now the fight of my life. Chemotherapy treatments are already underway, and my doctors have shared that my treatment and recovery will last anywhere from 12 to 18 months.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This season of life is filled with both challenges and blessings. There are difficult days, but I hold tightly to the promises of God: that He will never leave me nor forsake me, and that His strength is made perfect in my weakness.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I believe healing is possible, and I’m standing in faith for the restoration of my health.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I have been encouraged by my family and friends to start a GoFundMe. My goal is to raise money to help cover my medical treatment, ongoing care, and the life expenses that come with being unable to fully provide while undergoing such intensive treatment. Every contribution brings me peace of mind to focus on healing, being present for my daughter and rebuilding the energy and strength needed for the future.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Though the journey ahead is long, I believe God has a greater plan for my life. This journey is not only about fighting cancer but also about showing my daughter what resilience, courage, and faith look like in action. I know this story will one day be a testimony of God’s goodness.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I am beyond grateful for the love and generosity already shown to me. Many of you have sent cards, gift cards, and words of encouragement that have lifted my spirit on the hardest days. Your kindness has reminded me that I am not walking this journey alone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>To help make things simpler and more flexible for the months of treatment and recovery ahead, I have created this GoFundMe. This will allow support to go directly toward the areas of greatest need as they arise throughout treatment.

</div>

<div>How You Can Help:

</div>

<div>If you feel led, I humbly ask for your support in one or more of these ways:

</div>

<div>* Donate — any amount, no matter how small, makes a difference.

</div>

<div>* Share — spread the word to friends and family.

</div>

<div>* Pray — for strength, healing, and peace for me, my daughter and my family.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>From the bottom of my heart, thank you for walking alongside me in this season. Your generosity, encouragement, and prayers are a lifeline of hope, and I am deeply grateful.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I have said from the beginning of this journey, that if I have to go through this, there must be a greater purpose. I pray that by sharing my journey, it will bless, inspire, encourage, and bring hope to at least one person. Follow my journey on TikTok (@shonna.strong) &amp; Instagram (@shonnastrong)
