<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is something I never imagined I’d have to write. I’ve gone back and forth about asking for help, but the medical bills from my breast cancer journey are growing faster than I can keep up with, and I’ve reached a point where I truly need support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Earlier this year, I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 29 years old. Since June, I’ve undergone five surgeries, three were due to complications with healing — something no one prepares you for, and it’s guaranteed I will need future surgeries as part of the delayed reconstruction. What I hoped would be a straightforward treatment path became months of setbacks, pain, and starting over again and again. I had a mastectomy, additional corrective surgeries, and I’m now on long-term medication. Even with insurance, the out-of-pocket costs have been overwhelming — surgery bills, oncology visits, imaging, medication, and all the unexpected charges that seem to appear out of nowhere.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve always been independent and creative, and what I would have loved to do is start a small candle business to help cover some of these expenses and also be able to donate some of the funds to breast cancer research. I wanted to pour love, strength, and encouragement into every candle and use it as a way to raise money without ever having to ask directly. If you know me well, you know that writing this and asking for help does not come easy. But between healing from multiple surgeries, working, and racing against debt collectors, I simply don’t have the time or energy to make it happen right now — no matter how much I wish I did.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So I’m swallowing my pride and asking for support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re able to donate, share this, or even send a kind message, it would mean more than I can express. Every bit of support gives me some breathing room to focus on recovering instead of drowning in medical debt.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing by me during one of the hardest chapters of my life.
</div>
<div>I’m truly grateful and will make sure to do everything I can to help other survivors/previvors. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-Lexi
