Dearest Friends and Family,

This February, just weeks before my 34th birthday, I was unexpectedly diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer (Triple Negative Invasive Ductal Carcinoma). To say I was shocked would be an understatement!

I am seeking treatment primarily through the oncology team at Great Lakes Cancer Collaborative/GPPC and the surgical team at Windsong Breast Care. My team has so far been fantastic and is optimistic that this is entirely curable, but I am in for a fight this year, starting with chemo and immunotherapy.

I am launching this GoFundMe with the goal that I can focus on my treatment and recovery, without the added stress of the financial burden associated with TNBC treatment. Everything raised will go directly to healthcare and living-related costs including but not limited to: 

• Health insurance premiums/deductibles/copays/coinsurance/etc.
  
• Out of pocket medical expenses (OTC medicine, etc.)
• Bills (Phone, car insurance, etc.)

Thank you all for your ongoing support, it means the world to me. I (or someone close to me) will provide updates when I can. No amount is too small. Sharing this fund link with others is also just as helpful!

With love and gratitude,

Kristen
