Hello, current and future friends of Kelly Hayes. Nobody likes to ask for help but nobody should struggle, either, when friends can help.

As many of you know Kelly already beat breast cancer once and was in remission since 2019 after a double mastectomy and chemo.

Kelly discovered a lump on her clavicle recently and after further frustrating tests, was diagnosed with Metastatic TNBC Breast Cancer Stage 4. Kelly’s current treatment is Oral Chemo. Mayo did contact her this week and have determined she’s a good candidate for one of their trials, mostly because it’s rare for someone this young to have MTNBC.

We are trying to get her to Mayo Clinic in MN for that clinical trial. Kelly would need to go to Mayo at least once, and may need to stay for a short period of time depending on which trial and how it will be administered.

Kelly & Matt have been together nearly 30 years and have 5 kids; Mackenzie, Kendall, Branden, Harper & Presley. Kelly is unable to work at this time as a skilled jewelry-maker with a successful Etsy store. Matt has limited time-off available at work and is doing his best to support the family with his time and income.

Please consider donating below to help with the costs of getting Kelly to Mayo as well as additional assistance for the family during this overwhelming time in their lives.

I will also be setting up a Meal Train for the family and we hope to have a benefit concert as well as a Poker Tournament fundraiser. Stay tuned for those links.

Thank you for your consideration and please let me know if you have any questions!
