In fall 2025, Rachelle was diagnosed with Stage 3C HER2-positive invasive breast cancer, already involving her lymph nodes. Since then, she has pursued extensive treatments, nutritional support and integrative therapies while fighting relentlessly.

In summer 2026, as the cancer continued to progress, Rachelle completed an intensive three-week integrative treatment program in Mexico and returned home hopeful.

Unfortunately, the weeks that followed brought a rapid and devastating progression. New testing and imaging confirmed that Rachelle’s cancer is now Stage IV metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, with extensive lymph-node involvement throughout her neck, chest, armpits and abdomen, as well as spread to her lungs.

Now- October 2026: Rachelle is preparing for a new chemotherapy and treatment regimen, including port placement, with the urgent goal of getting this aggressive disease under control.

At only 42 years old, Rachelle is a wife and mother of four. The fight has changed dramatically, and so have her medical, treatment and everyday needs.

We need our village now more than ever. If you can donate, please do. If you can share, please share. Every bit of support helps give Rachelle the ability to focus on what matters most: fighting for more time with her family.
