Hello family, friends, and clients of Tori,

My name is Lacey Cobb and I am both a client and friend of Tori. For those not aware, Tori is facing a challenging time as she prepares for a prophylactic double mastectomy procedure on August 8th in order to help PREVENT a severe and aggressive form of breast cancer called Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). TNBC is the hardest type of breast cancer to treat and most likely to come back. To be clear, Tori does not currently have cancer, but needs this procedure to reduce her chances of getting it.

TNBC runs in Tori’s family. Her sisters Rebecca and Anastasia were both diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer and underwent aggressive chemotherapy, radiation, and double mastectomy procedures. Cancer also goes back at least three generations in Tori’s family. Based on this information along with Tori’s recent MRI revealing existing calcifications, UCSF and Kaiser Genetics estimate a 78% chance of Tori developing breast cancer.

As you all know, Tori is an exceptional colorist. She has a rigorous work schedule working for herself to pay the bills. She is also an incredible mother of two daughters, Izzy who is about to graduate from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and Waylan (4) who is getting ready to restart pre-k this fall. With this procedure coming up, not only does Tori need to worry about having to pay medical expenses, but she will also have to find a way to cover her normal expenses and figure out child care while not having income coming in.

I am writing to ask that we all come together to help provide a little extra support for Tori during this difficult time for her and her family. This way she can take the time she needs to fully recover and reduce some of the stress from the unfortunate situation. Any donation will help and is greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for your support!
