Help Becky fight for her life and her daughter’s future!

Hi my name is Dena Kaplan and I am raising funds for my dear friend Becky. I have never met anyone as strong as her in my life and she really needs help. Help Becky Fight for Her Life — and Her Daughter’s Future

Becky is a 39-year-old mum who fought for 12 long years through infertility to bring her miracle baby Maddison into the world. Maddison, now 4, is the light of her life — a bright, bubbly little girl with boundless energy and a heart full of love.

But since Maddison’s birth, Becky’s health has taken a devastating turn.

She was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) — a rare and painful genetic disorder that affects connective tissue. In just two years, she’s endured 11 major surgeries, including complex reconstructions of her spine, sacroiliac joints, neck, and hip.

Then, in early 2025, Becky was rushed in for emergency brain surgery. A colloid cyst — a rare brain tumour — had grown and was blocking the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, causing dangerous pressure in her brain. She underwent a full craniotomy to survive. The recovery was brutal, and included memory loss and long-term fatigue. Despite this, Becky never gave up.

Recently, there was finally a glimmer of hope: she was approved for a total hip replacement in September. She was overjoyed — excited to heal, return to work, and begin building a safe, stable life for herself and Maddison.

But just last week, her world was shattered again.

A follow-up MRI has revealed that the brain tumour is back — and it’s bigger than before. This tumour is a ticking time bomb. Left untreated, it could lead to sudden death. And this time, Becky has no financial safety net.

All her savings have been exhausted. She is now in debt from past surgeries, unable to work, and completely overwhelmed by the burden of navigating this life-threatening condition while being a parent to a vibrant, active little girl who needs her mum.

Becky’s biggest fear isn’t just the tumour — it’s leaving Maddison without her mum.

This GoFundMe has been set up by friends who love Becky dearly and have watched her fight silently for too long. Funds raised will go toward:

    •    Urgent medical costs and specialist appointments

    •    Travel and accommodation for treatment

    •    Support for Maddison’s care while Becky is in recovery

    •    Basic living expenses so she can focus on healing without the added stress of survival

Becky is a fighter. She’s loving, brave, and endlessly devoted to her daughter. But right now, she can’t do this alone. If you’re able to contribute — no matter how small — or simply share this page, you are helping give Becky the chance to live, heal, and raise the little girl she fought so hard to bring into the world.

Please help us keep this beautiful mother-daughter story going.
