Dear friends,
Our dear friend Janabai is stepping into a new phase of her healing journey. The cancer has metastasized to her bones, and as she now faces Stage IV breast cancer, she needs our support more than ever.
If you’re receiving this, you’ve likely felt the depth of Janabai’s devotion—to her sons and her community. She gives tirelessly, with strength, integrity, and humility, showing up day after day for what she loves and stands for.
She is now at the beginning of what will likely be an intense and demanding chapter of healing. As she prepares to undergo alternative treatments in Mexico, Janabai needs the space to step out of survival mode and into true healing.
As a single mom raising twin 13-year-old boys with high needs, working full-time, and holding down a home, she cannot do this alone. This is our moment to step in and support Janabai and her boys.
Janabai is meeting this threshold with clarity and courage.
There is still a real window here.
Her team has recommended a 3-week intensive treatment program designed to strengthen her immune system and directly target the cancer.
The cost is $45,000. It is not covered by insurance.
She needs to begin as soon as possible.
What We’re Raising
$60,000
To cover:
• Immediate treatment ($45K)
• Rent and basic living expenses
• Ongoing supportive care
This isn’t extra. This is what allows her to focus on healing without the weight of financial pressure.
