Please consider a monetary donation to help Samantha Zander as she battles breast cancer! 


A Lump

In June, Sam faced every woman’s biggest fear.
She discovered a lump in her breast!
Sam consulted her family doctor,
was advised to enjoy her upcoming family vacation,
go through one cycle
and if it was still present,
seek further treatment. 
After all, Samantha is only
30  and has no family history! 


Mammogram, Ultrasound, Biopsy

In July, Samantha had a mammogram 
followed by an ultrasound and later a biopsy. 
The whole time thinking it was probably 
just a cyst. 


Triple Negative Breast Cancer

On July 30th,  a phone call from the
Breast Health Nurse 
changed Samantha’s life FOREVER.
Instant tears rolled down her cheeks
as her heart sank
”I have breast cancer”
she immediately shared with her mom, Jan. 
Through muffled cries, her mom cried out,
” I wish it was me!”


The Future

TREATMENT will begin soon
The upcoming days are
OVERFLOWING with appointments.
Not only does Samantha have to endure
chemotherapy, surgery, AND radiation
she also has to deal with issues related to her 
FERTILITY.
Chemo will put her in 
MENOPAUSE. 
Samantha and her fiancé Michael would like to have a child together after they get married next summer. 



That’s where your support is needed...
Fertility concerns will NOT be covered
by insurance.

Samantha is so many things to so many people
Devoted fiancé to Michael
Doting mommy to two-year-old Aubree
Loving daughter to Jan and Steve
Gracious sister and sister-in-law to
Joe, Ben, and Amanda
Thoughtful and compassionate 
granddaughter, niece, and cousin
Generous, dependable, and caring 
friend and co-worker
Dedicated Educational Support Professional for
oodles of young children

As someone blessed to know Sam,
I ask, from the bottom of my heart, for you to pray 
for COMFORT, HEALING, PATIENCE and STRENGTH
for Samantha as she ‘Fights Like a Girl’
to overcome this vicious disease.

If you can,
PLEASE
support Samantha during this trying time!
