Hi everyone,
​I am organizing this fundraiser for my sister, Daiunna, who has recently received a life-changing diagnosis. Daiunna has been diagnosed with HER2- breast cancer. This is known to be an aggressive form of cancer, and she will be starting a rigorous chemotherapy regimen very soon.
​Facing cancer is terrifying enough, but the prospect of losing her hair adds a layer of emotional trauma to an already difficult battle. For many women, keeping their hair is about maintaining a sense of normalcy and dignity while everything else feels out of control.
​The Goal: Cold Capping
Daiunna is hoping to use a process called "Cold Capping" to save her hair during treatment. This isn’t a cosmetic vanity project—it is a way for her to recognize herself in the mirror while she fights for her life.
​However, cold capping is not covered by insurance, and it is both expensive and physically grueling.
​The Process: It requires wearing a frozen cap for 1-2 hours before chemo, all 8 hours during the infusion, and 3.5-5 hours afterward. She will have to do this every 2-3 weeks.
​The Cost: The equipment costs approximately $1,500 just to get started, followed by $500 every month for the duration of her treatment.
​How You Can Help
We are looking to raise funds to cover these cold capping expenses so Daiunna can focus on beating this cancer without the added financial stress.
​Donate: Any amount helps get us closer to the $1,500 start-up cost and the monthly fees.
​Share: Please share this link with your network.
​Support: If you are local and want to support us during those long chemo days, please let us know.
​Daiunna is strong, but she shouldn't have to fight this alone. Thank you for helping her keep her light shining bright during this dark time.
​With love and gratitude,
​Sanders,Jennings, Wray, Manning
