Help My Daughter Fight Cancer & Long COVID

Life has thrown more than its fair share of challenges at my daughter, Buffie, but she has never stopped fighting. In 2014, she battled cancer and survived. In 2022, she was hit with long COVID—a debilitating illness that kept her out of work for 10 months and only able to work part-time for the next 16 months. Just as she was trying to rebuild her life, she received the devastating news in February 2025: she has two types of breast cancer.

For the past two years, Buffie has been navigating a broken healthcare system, where long COVID treatments were often dismissed or unavailable. She had no choice but to fund much of her care out-of-pocket, spending tens of thousands of dollars on alternative treatments and specialists. Between 2022 and 2024 alone, she paid over $15,000 in insurance deductibles, not including additional medical expenses.

Now, with another battle ahead, she faces not only the emotional and physical toll of cancer but also the overwhelming financial burden of treatment. She is still not back to full-time work, and with mounting medical bills and lost wages, she needs our support.

How Your Support Helps Buffie

Donations will go toward:

✅ Insurance deductibles and medical expense

✅ Transportation to treatments and doctor visits

✅ Life-saving therapies not covered by insurance

✅ Lost Wages

Buffie is not just fighting for herself—she is fighting for her 16-year-old son, who will graduate in 2026. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the financial burden so she can focus on what truly matters: healing and being there for her son.

Please consider donating and sharing this campaign. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to our family. Thank you for being part of Buffie’s fight!
