If you know Chloe, you already know she’s DIFFERENT different. The kind of person whose smile is contagious, whose laugh hits your chest, and whose presence makes you feel lighter. She doesn’t care what you look like, where you come from, or what you got in your pockets. She’ll welcome you in like you’ve known her your whole life, make you feel comfortable, probably joke that you're a lil stinky and need a shower, but then hand you a towel, lay out an outfit that slays, and cook for you while you clean up. That’s who she is.

Chloe is a mother, a daughter, a friend, and a force of nature. She gives and gives and gives, often at the expense of herself, and never asks for anything in return. But right now, she needs us.

For the first time in her life, this woman who's never asked for anything is facing something she can't outwork, outhustle, or outfight alone.

The Diagnosis

Chloe was recently diagnosed with an aggressive Grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma. HER2-positive breast cancer. It’s fast-growing, but the great news is: treatments for HER2+ cancers are incredibly effective today. Her doctors have laid out a plan: months of chemo, a year of targeted therapy, surgery, radiation if needed, and recovery. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

And through it all, she’s still cracking jokes, still loving people deeply, still being the safe place for everyone else. Even while fighting for understanding and taking on this new challenge.

The Chloe We Know

Chloe’s story has never been easy. From childhood to adolescence, through her 20s, now in those 30's (yeah I know, she looks 20 still) she’s faced obstacle after obstacle, at times quadruple stacked on top of each other. The kind that would’ve broken most people. But quitting? She doesn’t even like how that word sounds.

She became a mother to Ezra, and has poured her whole heart into raising him. Their bond is something sacred. Ezra is her mirror. If you know, YOU KNOW! He laughs like her, shines like her, and is proof of the love and patience Chloe has put into being the most open, transparent, supportive parent you could imagine.

And while raising her young boy, Chloe built a career from scratch. She went from freelancing and dreaming of modeling big time, to headlining national campaigns for Nike, Adidas, and so many more. She published a children’s book. She's acted in films. She’s fought for equality and queer rights. She’s volunteered religiously. She even ran for freaking city council last year! That's only like 5% of the list. Like what type of Super Woman do we have here?! Lol She’s lived a life full of impact, all while carrying weights most of us never see.

And through all of that? She’s NEVER asked for a handout. She didn’t even want to start this GoFundMe because she didn’t want to be a burden to people. I’ve shed so many tears just thinking about that fact. She’s going through the most challenging time in her life, and she’s still worried about comforting others. Not once has she ever asked for a favor. She just worked harder, dreamed bigger, and showed up every single day.

Why We’re Here

Cancer is expensive. Insurance doesn’t cover everything. Things like cold capping, alternative medicine, travel to specialists, childcare, bills while she can’t work, Ezra’s sports and needs, and just the simple costs of living.

The truth is, Chloe won’t be able to work for at least a year or two. And she shouldn’t have to worry about money while she’s going through this. Cuz she IS going to kick HER2’s ass, and we’re going to make it a lot less stressful by helping her out.

This fund is here so she can focus on healing, being a mom, and staying the bright, unstoppable light we all love and appreciate.

Why Chloe Deserves Our Help

Because she has poured into all of us. She has been the hug, the laugh, the cookie-baking master, the listener, the hype woman, the one who saw you when nobody else did. Even acquaintances don’t stay acquaintances; everyone wants to be her friend. She’s rare. Less than 1% rare.

We need her here… not just for Ezra, but for all of us. So she can tell her story, to inspire, to fight, to love, to laugh. To live til she’s a hundred and see her grand babies have grand babies. Cuz she still gon’ be modeling then, and active as ever. This we KNOW!

How You Can Help

Donate what you can. $5, $20, $100, $5,000. Whatever you can afford. Also, something else that would be a HUGE help is if you could share this with your network.

Chloe needs to raise about $60,000. But the first milestone is $30,000. We are going to attack this a step at a time.

These funds will be going towards:

+ Medical costs insurance won't cover

+ Lost wages

+ Living expenses for the year plus she's going through treatment

+ Ezra's needs (sports, therapy, stability)

+ Cold capping to keep her crown

+ Alternative treatments & travel

If only 1,500 people gave $20, we’d hit that milestone goal instantly.

If only 600 gave $50, we'd do the same! So let's DO IT!

Every dollar counts: $25 = one day of medication. $100 = groceries for a week. $500 = keeping Ezra's life stable for a month.

Can't donate? That's okay! SHARE this everywhere. Your auntie's church group. Your work Slack. Your group chat. Someone in your network might be Chloe's angel. Sharing literally saves lives.

Also, if you can’t give money, give time. Bring dinner for Her or Ezra. Take either of them out for a simple fun, creative outing. Do something nice without asking. Come have tea with Chloe. Movie night. Sit, laugh, cry, love with her. It’s the little things that add up too.

This isn’t just about raising funds. It’s about raising Chloe up the way she’s always raised up all of us, with no expectations.

Let’s kick cancer’s ass with her and make sure Chloe and her entire family feel every ounce of love, support, and community they deserve. ❤️

Be part of Chloe's miracle. Donate. Share. Show up. Let's show cancer it picked the wrong one. The wrong family. The wrong community. WE GOT HER. ❤️
