Hi, I’m Courtney, a 34 year-old fighting an incredibly tough battle. After completing treatment for stage 3c2 cervical cancer in February 2025, I was devastated to receive an updated stage 4B cancer diagnosis in May 2025. Now in on Christmas Eve, my doctors have told me I have 1-2 years left at minimum and anything over that is a blessing. 

This unexpected turn has brought immense emotional and financial challenges.

Currently, I’m facing a backlog of medical bills from my previous treatment, as United Healthcare has yet to cover those expenses and are fighting us on them. On top of this, I’m preparing to relocate from the USA back to Australia to be near my Mother (a breast cancer survivor) for support and to continue my treatment. The costs of medical care, relocation, and ongoing treatment are overwhelming, and I’m reaching out for help to navigate this difficult time. I have already sold vehicles and belongings to cover expenses up until this point.

Funds will be used to help with these bills, relocation related expenses and to support me whilst I will not be able to work.

Your support, no matter how small, will help me cover unpaid medical bills, ongoing bills, and access the care I need to keep fighting, as well as allow me to cover expenses as I am no longer able to work. I’m grateful for any kindness you can share—whether it’s a donation, a kind word, or spreading my story. Thank you for standing with me in this fight.

I want to add, thank you to everyone for their kindness so far. You have helped me to get home to Australia, however my fight is not over. I appreciate you all.
