Help a Single Mom Fight Cancer & Keep Her Home
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Amanda and I am fundraising for my sister-in-law Katie. Here is a message from her about what is going on....
"Hey everyone,
I never thought I’d be in this position, but life has thrown me a challenge I can’t face alone. I’m a single mom to two incredible kids—my 16-year-old daughter and my 7-year-old son. A few weeks ago, I was diagnosed with stage two cervical cancer, and now I’m preparing for the toughest fight of my life. The one thing getting me through this is the incredible support of my family, friends, and community. I am so grateful for the love and encouragement I’ve already received—it truly keeps me going. I know I’m not alone in this fight, and that means everything."
Katie has to go through six weeks of chemotherapy, seven weeks of radiation, and then months of recovery. That means she will be off work for at least six months. While she will get full pay for six weeks, after that, her income drops to just 55%. As the only provider for her kids, she is terrified of how she will keep up with her mortgage, bills, and everyday expenses while also trying to focus on healing.
I’m reaching out because she needs a little extra help to get through the months ahead. Any support—whether it’s a donation, a share, or just a kind word—would mean the world to Katie and her kids. This journey is scary for all who love Katie, but knowing she has such an amazing community behind her makes all the difference.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
