It’s back—and not in a nostalgic, Ghostbusters sequel kind of way.
More like a jump scare, Aliens 2 kind of way.
After nearly 13 years in remission, Justyn—our fierce, funny, and incredibly strong friend—is once again facing breast cancer.
She’s already begun her first couple rounds of chemotherapy, with surgery and radiation still ahead. It’s a heavy, exhausting road—physically, emotionally, and mentally.
But if anyone can face it with grit, humor, grace, and style, it’s Justyn.
That said, cancer is brutal—and the bills that come with it are somehow even worse.
Adding to the stress, Justyn is dealing with the all-too-familiar American reality:
health insurance tied to employment.
As she steps back to focus on healing, her insurance is in limbo— adding yet another layer of uncertainty in an already overwhelming time.
So here we are—creating this GoFundMe to help take one major worry off
her plate. The goal? To cover out-of-pocket medical costs, insurance
gaps, and everyday expenses that don’t magically disappear just
because life decides to drop the other shoe and hit you upside the
head. The support from this fund will help Justyn prioritize what
truly matters: healing, resting, and spending precious time with her
daughter, Opal and her partner Jeff.
Let’s rally around her with the same energy, love, and fierce support
that she’s shown all of us. Every donation—no matter the size—helps.
Every share helps. And every kind message helps remind her that she’s
not in this alone.
She beat it once. She’ll beat it again. But no one should have to do
it without backup.

With love and gratitude,
Suzanne, Marla, and everyone who love's this special lady
