Hi everyone,

I recently turned 32, and I’m currently navigating a possible breast cancer diagnosis that I didn’t expect to face at this age.

Since January of last year, when I was hospitalized with intracranial hypertension, I’ve been on a long health journey - updating my diet, changing medications, and constantly working to improve my overall health. Despite that, new symptoms kept emerging, and unfortunately, they were often dismissed.

That changed in September 2025, when I found a lump in my breast. I went back to my doctor with everything... the ongoing symptoms, my family history of cancer on both sides, a BRCA-positive result from previous testing, and the lump. Since then, it’s been a cascade of appointments and testing that has led me to where I am now.

The imaging revealed three masses in my right breast, classified as BI-RADS 4. This means the findings are suspicious and require further evaluation. They can’t confidently determine what they are yet - but it is not a diagnosis of cancer. I’m now in the process of awaiting referrals and additional testing (I was recommended a mammogram and possible biopsy).

As someone who is Autistic with ADHD, the complexity of navigating the healthcare system, combined with the ongoing stress, has amplified everything. The uncertainty has been one of the hardest parts to carry.

Over the last six months, my health has steadily impacted my ability to work. I reached a point where I was too sick to continue working consistently or sustainably. I’ve had to call out, adjust my schedule, and ultimately stop my gig work; even before receiving these results. Trying to push through and not let people down has taken a significant toll.

My income has always depended on showing up and working job by job, and I don’t have a built-in safety net to fall back on when my health is affected. I’ve worked hard to keep things afloat, but this situation has made that increasingly difficult.

So I’m doing something that is extremely difficult for me. I’m asking for help. After months of pushing through, I’ve reached a point where I can’t continue doing this alone.

I’m seeking support to cover the next six months while I continue navigating testing, diagnosis, and whatever treatment may be needed. Support will go towards medical bills, rent, transportation, basic living expenses, and out-of-pocket health-related needs like supplements and comfort items that aren’t covered.

If financial support isn’t possible, sharing this campaign would truly mean so much. And if you’re local, help with errands, meals, or sharing helpful resources would be deeply appreciated.

Any form of support helps me face this unknown, and would give me the ability to focus on my health instead of staying in survival mode.

Thank you for being here for me ❤️
