Join My Journey: Beating Stage 2 Breast Cancer

Donation protected
Hi everyone,

As some of you may know, but for those don't I was diagnosed with lupus in 2022, a fight that has presented its own set of challenges. But on January 16, 2025, I received another life-changing diagnosis: Stage 2 breast cancer.

Hearing the words “you have cancer” was something I never expected, but here I am, facing yet another battle head-on. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that illness doesn’t care—about age, race, or what you have going on in life. But I refuse to let this define me.

**Why I Need Your Support**

Fighting both breast cancer and lupus means countless doctor’s appointments, treatments, medications, and unforeseen medical expenses. Even with insurance, the costs add up quickly—from chemotherapy and surgery to ongoing care and the toll this takes on my ability to work.

I’ve always prided myself on my independence, but right now, I need my village. Every donation, no matter the size, will help ease the financial burden and allow me to focus on what truly matters, healing, staying strong, and beating this!

**Other Ways to Help**

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page and keeping me in your prayers means everything to me. Your support, whether financial or emotional, gives me the strength to keep fighting.

I am trusting in God, my amazing medical team, and the love from all of you to get through this. Cancer may have picked the wrong one, because I plan to fight and win!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
