Hello, I’m Raechelle, Patty’s BFF since December of 1974. The two of us met through mutual friends. The friend knew we were a match, and when we finally met, the bond was sealed.

Ironically, our paths crossed as children. We often talk about the what-ifs. In December of 1974, we finally got our chance.

There isn’t anything better than a BFF!!

Patty is the most selfless person you will ever know. Her life is dedicated to tending to others. She cared for my children while I worked.

Now she needs help. She has stage 4 breast cancer. Therapies thus far have not slowed the progression.

We’re not ready to surrender. There are alternatives, but funding is essential for her to have a chance to receive it.

The most beautiful thing about her current status is that she now accepts that her focus needs to be on Patty and fighting this cancer.

Neither she nor anyone who has been blessed enough to know her is willing to surrender.

Please give so that she may live.

Thank you.
