Kristen's Fight Against Breast Cancer!
Donation protected
Hello World!
See that photo? That photo is of Kristen and her two most precious babies who, along with her husband Mark, are why she will be fighting like crazy against recently diagnosed Stage 3 bilateral invasive breast cancer. Kristen is only 34 years old. Discovering a lump in October (Everyone do your self-checks!), she was denied appropriate diagnostic testing due to her status as a Breastfeeding mother, which is mind-boggling in its own right. But, she knew something was up and thankfully persisted as an advocate of her own health, being diagnosed just before her 34th birthday. She fights. She recently discovered that her medical insurance does not cover cancer treatment. Now, she will have to fight harder than she should.
Anyone who has undergone cancer treatment or knows someone who has is more than aware it's a fight you cannot win on your own. You must have a community behind you! She is fighting for herself, her future, her two beautiful babies, her wonderful husband and her loving family. SHE. IS. A. FIGHTER. I would like to assist in easing their minds in an attempt to cover some of her medical costs and their daily needs. Her lovely Mother in Law has set up a Meal Train if you feel that is a way you could assist. I will be facilitating this Go Fund Me on their behalf and ask you to contribute in any way you can. Donations will go toward medical bills, daily care for the family, and Formula as she has had to stop breastfeeding Her son to start treatment. Based on the status, Chemo starts FIRST. So please contribute and do what you can for this beautiful family.
