Hello friends, family, and friends of friends! My name is Lauren, and I'm fundraising for Papillon, my wonderful, strong, funny, loyal, loving friend of nearly 30 years, to help with her mounting medical bills while she fights cancer like the badass she is.

Two months ago, Papillon was diagnosed with Stage 3 (now Stage 4) Ovarian Cancer. She is scheduled for surgery on Monday, November 7, to remove all affected organs; chemotherapy and possibly radiation therapy will follow - which means she will not be able to work for months. As you can see, Pap has a difficult road ahead with a long and painful recovery. Let's help her beat the odds and avoid financial catastrophe!

This GoFundMe will provide Papillon with the resources to afford the cancer treatments she needs and allow her to recover without stressing about food, rent, dog care, and all the things we sometimes take for granted.

Please donate what you can - no amount is too small. If a donation is not currently within your means, you can still support her by sharing this with your network and getting the word out. Anything helps!
