I never thought I’d be here — asking for help to stay alive.

Hi, I’m Julia.

Five years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

I fought. I did every surgery, every round of chemo, every scan.

I told myself: I will beat this.

But today, I’m living with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer — which means the fight never ends. I’ll be in treatment for the rest of my life.

Insurance covers the basics. But the care that’s actually helping me stay strong, reduce pain, and slow the cancer?

❌ It’s not covered.

That includes:

• Integrative & holistic care

• Out-of-network cancer specialists

• Alternative medications, supplements, & immune support

• Mind-body therapies that keep me mentally grounded ‍♀️

These treatments are giving me more time — and better time. But I can’t keep doing it alone.

I’m private. I’m proud. Asking for help is not easy. But this is the fight for my life, and today, I need your help to keep going.

If you can give, know you’re not just helping me survive — you’re helping me live. And if you can’t donate but can share this, you’re helping me more than you know.

Every share, every dollar, every message is proof I’m not in this alone. ❤️

From my heart — thank you for fighting with me.

— Julia
