Help Brooke Beat Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Celebrate Life!

I’m reaching out with a heavy, yet hopeful heart.

My beautiful daughter Brooke is 22 years old and lives with moderate intellectual and physical disabilities. Despite the challenges she faces every single day, she radiates joy, kindness, and a sparkle that lights up every room she enters.

Recently, our world was shaken when Brooke was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma — a battle no young person should have to face, especially someone already navigating life with extra hurdles. She began chemotherapy on Friday, March 28th, and while our family is full of emotions, we remain strong, united, and hopeful.

Why We’re Asking for Your Support

Fighting cancer isn’t just a medical journey — it’s an emotional, physical, and financial one. We’re doing all we can to give Brooke the best care possible, but we’re facing several challenges:

Treatment costs beyond what insurance covers — including specialist appointments, therapies, and essential medications

Wigs and personal care to help Brooke feel confident and beautiful as she faces changes to her appearance and energy

Living support expenses, as Brooke requires extra care and assistance during this difficult time

We’re asking for $5,000 to help cover these costs — and just as importantly, to celebrate Brooke’s recovery with something truly meaningful.

Celebrating Life After Cancer

Brooke has always been a fighter. She’s grown up meeting every challenge with a massive smile and a heart full of love. She adores music, dancing, colouring in, and anything Disney. Her dream? To feel strong and confident again — and one day, to go to Disneyland.

If we surpass our goal, any extra funds will go toward making that dream come true — because after fighting cancer, she deserves a celebration of life and joy.
