Help Me Fight Breast Cancer

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind-Hearted Supporters,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to share my journey, one that I never imagined I'd embark on—a battle against stage IV Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (breast cancer). My name is Kendra, and I am the wife of Rich and a mother to two magical young sons, Ryker and Ronan.

I was recently given the heart wrenching diagnosis of cancer in my breast that has quickly spread to my spine. I tragically witnessed both of my parents pass away from this vicious disease, so I know all too well the devastating toll it takes on families.

As I fight this battle, I'm faced with a daunting challenge. The medications and treatments necessary for my survival come with an astronomical cost, and I find myself in a desperate situation. As most of you know, I am a very private person, so the decision to post this is one I have been grappling with immensely. However, the financial burden is overwhelming, and I cannot bear it alone.

Why I Need Your Help:

Cancer not only attacks the body but also drains one's financial resources and will take all my emotional strength to endure. I am in my first phase in treatment, but even with insurance, Rich and I have watched our medical bills pile up, depleting our savings for out of pocket expenses/bills and the need for life-saving treatments increasing, I am in dire need of support to continue my fight against cancer.

We have set an initial fundraising goal for the first phase of treatment of $50,000, which will help me access the critical medications and treatments required to save my life and, most importantly, be there for my beloved husband Rich and our two young sons, Ryker and Ronan. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to achieving this goal.

How You Can Make a Difference:

Donate: Please consider making a financial donation to support my battle. Your contribution will provide a lifeline for my treatment and ensure that I can continue being there for my family. Any amount is helpful and I sent my deepest Gratitude.

Share: Help spread the word by sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and across all of your social media platforms. Together, we can reach more people who may be willing to lend a helping hand.

Offer: Rich and I plan to have a fundraiser in the very near future, and if you would like to offer the gift of time, professional services, or goods to a silent auction we would be eternally grateful. We will link how to help through the Caring Bridge site below.

The Power of Unity:

As I navigate this journey, I am reminded of the incredible strength that comes from unity, community, and compassion. With your help, you can ease the financial burden and ensure that I have access to the treatments that offer hope for a brighter future with my family and friends. I believe that support from my community will help me to thrive, heal and move through this journey without causing a huge financial/emotional strain on my family as my parents' battles did. They died with nothing to their name.

I am deeply and profoundly grateful for your consideration, kindness, love, and support. Your generosity will make an enormous difference in my battle and in my ability to love and thrive with my family during this new, long journey.

Thank you for being a beacon of hope in my life. I will post updates on the Caring Bridge site my family has helped me lovingly create so you can follow along in my road to recovery.
