Help Alyson Focus on Healing, Not Medical Bills

Donation protected
Alyson was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, Grade 3 breast cancer on February 2, 2026, something she says was “definitely not on my 2026 bingo card.” Since then, she has faced each step of this journey with remarkable strength and positivity.

On March 12, she underwent a total right mastectomy with implant placement and sentinel node removal. Just weeks later, on March 30, she had her chemo port placed, followed by her first chemotherapy treatment on April 14.

Alyson now begins 20 weeks of chemotherapy, with radiation and hormone therapy to follow. Due to the intensity of treatment, exhaustion, and the risks associated with a weakened immune system, she is currently unable to work. As a result, medical bills are quickly adding up during an already incredibly challenging time.

Despite everything, Alyson continues to show up with grace, kindness, and a deeply positive spirit. She is the kind of person who has always given so much to others, and now she needs support from her community.

If you are able, please consider donating to help ease the financial burden of her treatment and allow her to focus on healing. Your support will help ensure that Alyson can move through this chapter without the added weight of medical debt, surrounded by the care and compassion she so freely gives to others.
