Hi — my name is Shaena Crane. I’m 34 and a partner to Matt Trozzi and a cat-mom to Pidgey Pidgerton. I’ve been fighting BRCA-related triple negative breast cancer and have gone through multiple treatments and clinical trials. My medical team believes a specific medication could give me a real chance at meaningful response, but current coverage and eligibility limits make it inaccessible.

With compassionate pricing and partial support, my out-of-pocket cost would still be roughly $7,000/month just for the medication. These funds will go toward the drug itself, pharmacy fees, travel/clinic visits, and supportive care so I can continue to fight without immediate financial ruin.

Your donation will buy time and hope — medical treatment, fewer sleepless nights in pain, and the chance to stay here for my loved ones.

I know asking is hard. If you can’t give, sharing the campaign makes a huge difference. I’ll post monthly updates to show where funds are going and how treatment is going. Thank you for reading, for any help, and for keeping me and my small family of Matt and Pidgey in your thoughts.
