Help Breanna's Aunt Fight Cancer and Lupus

Donation protected
My name is Breanna, and my heart is heavy.
One of the most loving, selfless women I’ve ever known—my Aunt Joy—has been hit with a devastating wave of diagnoses: Stage 2 cervical and vulvar cancer, Lupus, and NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease).

She’s a single mother of six and a grandmother to one (with another on the way), and despite it all, she continues to show up every day with strength and grace. But the reality is, she’s struggling—physically, emotionally, and financially.

Aunt Joy must now make a 4-hour round trip every weekday for both chemotherapy and radiation. She’s trying to maintain her job while caring for her children and facing an exhausting treatment schedule. The costs of gas, medical bills, and basic needs are becoming overwhelming.

She didn’t want us to start a GoFundMe—because that’s who she is. She’s the one who gives, not asks. But we can’t sit back and watch her suffer in silence

Update 06/18/25: After today’s appointment we were informed that the cancer unfortunately has spread and has advanced. Her lupus is causing complications with the treatments. As a result her doctors have instructed her to stop working altogether. The physical and emotional strain is putting too much on her body. Now more than ever she needs help. Whether it be a small donation or a prayer. Both are extremely generous and we are grateful.
