Supporting Penni Through Her Battle
Our mom, Penni Hofmann, is bravely fighting breast cancer, and the road ahead is long. She will be undergoing six sessions of chemotherapy, followed by a bilateral mastectomy and immune therapy for the rest of the year. Due to the intensity of treatment and recovery, she will be out of work for at least a year and relying on long-term disability, which only provides a small portion of her regular income.
Her medical bills are adding up, and without insurance, each chemo treatment alone would cost $44,494.29. Ensuring her financial needs are met is critical so she can continue care and survive this battle.
Along with medical costs, she has additional essential needs, including:
✅ Monthly living expenses & medical premiums—with a significantly reduced income, help is needed to cover basic necessities and ensure continued medical coverage.
✅ Specialized nutrition & soft foods to help her maintain strength.
✅ House cleaning assistance to keep her environment safe and manageable during treatment.
✅ Self-care essentials to provide comfort and help with recovery.
How You Can Help
We’re asking for support to cover these medical and daily care expenses so our mom can focus on healing. Any donation, big or small, will help make a difference.
In addition to this fundraiser, we have set up an Amazon Gift Registry with comfort and self-care items our mom needs. If you'd prefer to donate items directly, you can find the list here:
If you can’t donate, please share this fundraiser—spreading the word is just as impactful.
