Help Elizabeth Kick Cancer to the Curb

Donation protected
Dear family and friends, the Blackburn Family is asking for a helping hand. Over the summer my big sister, Elizabeth, was diagnosed with Stage 1 Ductal Cell Carcinoma. This is an invasive form of Breast Cancer. As a result, Elizabeth’s medical team conducted a lumpectomy on August 10th. During this procedure, two lumps were removed as well as three lymph nodes. The procedure went well and her surgeon stated this was expected and encouraging news. She is expected to receive 6 weeks of radiation therapy as well.

This event has hit Elizabeth and her loved ones as an emotional, physical, and financial surprise. Elizabeth has such a positive attitude, beautiful personality and soul, and kind heart - all of which have been put to the test these past several weeks. Anyone who knows my sister knows that she always has a smile on her face and a laugh that is contagious to all of those around her.

The news has come as a financial burden that is proving to be an overwhelming event for Elizabeth. As a way to help her, I have created this GoFundMe to show her the love and support of her family and friends during this trying time. We apologize if this is the first time you are hearing of this news, but the diagnosis was extremely rough for her and she needed time to process this information before informing all family and friends.

We understand that this may be a difficult time for many of you, but any contribution can help with lowering her medical expenses from the surgery, money lost due to time away from work, and many other additional expenses. These are expenses that are quickly piling up and will continue to increase over the next several weeks as a result of her diagnosis and treatment plan. For those who cannot help financially - prayers, positive energy, and good vibes are as equally appreciated.

Please keep my sister in your heart and mind during this time.
