Help Shenae’s Fight With Breast Cancer

My 31-year-old best friend Shenae Craig got diagnosed with breast cancer November 2022, after finding a lump in her left breast. While we are thankful she did not ignore it, we are devastated by the results and still trying to wrap our minds around the entire ordeal.

Yesterday marked her first round of chemotherapy and Shenae will endure at least six months of aggressive chemotherapy treatments, radiation and reconstructive surgery. Due to her young age, Shenae will also be undergoing fertility preservation by having her eggs harvested and frozen. Although some of these treatments will be covered by her health insurance, we are still receiving bills for things that are not and expected to be very costly. I am starting this GoFundMe account to help ease the financial burden Shenae will have to endure. She will not be able to work as much and will have to take as much down time as possible as she receives treatments and also rehabilitates.

Should the donations exceed the cost of her medical bills, the remaining funds will be utilized towards the additional treatment-related expenses and needed time off work.

If you know Shenae you know her job and her life is to be a creative. Her job includes her traveling and creating content for Blavity and Travel Noire.

Shenae has been my best friend for 12 years and counting and if you know her like I know her, the only thing you want is to be there for her like she always is when a friend is in need.
