Give Kendra a Fighting Chance Against Stage 4 Cancer

Help My Sister Kendra Fight Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer

Hi everyone,

My name is Kayla, and I’m creating this GoFundMe on behalf of my life long best friend and twin sister, Kendra.

Kendra was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Hormone Positive, HER2- Metastatic Breast Cancer. She had absolutely no symptoms until the cancer had already silently spread to her spine — something none of us could have ever imagined.

Since her diagnosis, everything in Kendra’s life has shifted. She's said it many times, her life has been completely flipped upside down. But for those that have had the chance to see her in the last few weeks know that she is approaching every day with incredible strength and determination. Her treatment plan is intense and lifelong. Although stage 4, her team of doctors believe she can overcome this and are treating her aggressively with curative intent.

She will be undergoing:

Chemotherapy for the next four months

Followed by surgery and radiation

And medication for the rest of her life

In addition to conventional treatments, Kendra is taking an integrative approach to her healing, combining standard care with evidence-based, holistic therapies to give her body the best chance at fighting this cancer and maintaining quality of life.

She is still working on her integrative care plan as most of this will come later but it will likely include:

Weekly acupuncture and infusions (these infusions will likely continue for the rest of her life)

Infrared therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy

Mistletoe therapy

And other supportive treatments that will be introduced over time

Because her cancer is hormone-sensitive, Kendra has had to remove and replace many of her everyday items — think about everything you pick up and use through out the day — to reduce exposure to hormone-disrupting chemicals. These changes are essential but costly.

On top of it all, she’s been traveling to near-daily appointments for the past month and a half, spending hundreds on gas and transportation alone. None of the therapies are covered by insurance, and the financial burden will be growing quickly.

We’re asking for your support — whether it’s a donation, a share, or simply a kind word — to help relieve the pressure so Kendra can focus fully on healing.

Your donations will go directly toward:

Out-of-pocket medical costs

Integrative treatments (acupuncture, infrared therapy, HBOT, mistletoe therapy, etc.)

Hormone-safe home and personal care products

Gas and transportation to and from appointments

Basic living expenses during treatment

Kendra is one of the most compassionate, vibrant, and resilient people I know. She has shown up for others with love and kindness her entire life — now it’s our turn to show up for her.

Thank you for helping ease the weight of this battle. Every donation and every share truly matters.

With love and deep gratitude,

Kayla
