Hello, my name is Rachel. I am a wife and mother of five, currently facing stage 4 breast cancer. My journey began on March 28, 2024, at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida, where I received my diagnosis. From that point forward, everything progressed very quickly. 
 
I started chemotherapy on April 16, and I am grateful to share that my body has responded well with minimal side effects. My family, friends, and medical team remain hopeful for my recovery, and I am doing my best to stay strong and positive throughout this process. 
 
Unfortunately, the financial burden has become overwhelming. My medical bills have already exceeded $400,000 and continue to grow. Beyond the cost of treatment, the rising expenses of daily living—rent, utilities, and other necessities—have placed a tremendous strain on my family, as we are currently relying on a single income. Despite our efforts, it has become increasingly difficult to manage these challenges while living paycheck to paycheck. 
 
All donations will go to helping us, 

-Keep up with any repairs our van needs 

- help pay medical &amp; household bills 

- help with getting my prescriptions 

- Help make sure our kids are taken care of 

- Get any medical supplies necessary 

-Help pay down credit card bills
 
I am not someone who easily asks for help, but at this time, my family and I are in need of support. Any contribution, no matter the amount, would provide meaningful relief and help us focus on my recovery. 
 
On behalf of my family, I want to sincerely thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this difficult time. 
 
With gratitude, 

Rachel
