For the past year and a half, I’ve been in active cancer treatment, doing everything in my power to fight this disease while continuing to work, support myself, and keep my business alive. I chose to fight hard — through treatment, through setbacks, and through uncertainty — always trying to balance survival with responsibility to my livelihood and the people who depend on me.

Recently, my medical team has told me that the cancer can no longer be treated without major surgery. They are recommending an APR surgery with V-flap reconstruction, which is a complex, life-altering procedure that will leave me physically unable to work for an estimated 2 to 3 months during recovery.

This was not an easy decision. I did everything possible to avoid this surgery. I even delayed it by three months, asking for more chemotherapy instead, hoping there would be another way. I explored every option. But my doctors have been clear and consistent: this surgery is the only path left to fully remove the cancer.

The reality is that this recovery period means I will temporarily lose my ability to earn income, and without support, I risk losing the very things I’ve worked so hard to build — my business, my stability, and my independence.

This fundraiser is to help cover:

Basic living expenses during recovery

Medical and recovery-related costs

Business overhead

Temporary help so my company can remain open and operational

One of my biggest goals is not just to survive this — but to preserve what I’ve built. I plan to use part of these funds to bring in help so my company can continue operating while I recover. I am committed to keeping things running, staying accountable to my customers, and rebuilding stronger once I’m physically able.

I’m not someone who asks for help easily. I’ve tried to carry this on my own for as long as I could. But this moment requires community, support, and strength beyond just medical treatment.

If you’re able to donate, share, or support in any way — financially or through encouragement — it truly means more than I can express. This is not just about surgery.

It’s about survival, stability, dignity, and the chance to rebuild a future after cancer.

Thank you for standing with me through this fight.
