Help Kara Beat Breast Cancer

In December 2018, my childhood friend Kara was diagnosed with breast cancer just 3 months after her wedding. The month following her diagnosis has been a whirlwind for her and her husband Chase as they navigate this crazy reality that no one ever could imagine going through. Kara was very proactive and most of the cancer was caught early enough to remove, but unfortunately will still require a bilateral mastectomy in mid February followed by further treatment yet to be determined.

So many friends and family have expressed their desire to help in any way possible. I know that everyone wants to show their love and support while feeling like they are contributing to a friend in these circumstances.  With that said, I am starting this fund for the sole purpose of making Kara and Chases lives just a little easier with the stacking medical bills, surgeries and any treatments to come. 

While there’s no doubt in my mind that Kara will survive this, I would love to give her the gift of less worry. At the very least, I want Kara and Chase to feel supported and to give everyone the opportunity to support them if they want to. For those who don’t feel comfortable giving through the gofundme and would like to reach out directly to Kara, please email me at [email redacted]. I can also happily provide an address for anyone wishing to send any little thoughts or funny cards to bring Kara a laugh. 

Any unused funds will be donated towards another gofundme of a woman also fighting this battle. 

We WILL beat this!

We love you, Kara!
