Calling all friends, family, colleagues, admirers, and kind humans – it’s time to rally for Meredith Cambre!

To know Meredith/Meri, is to love her. You can’t put her in a box and she’ll high-kick you into a corner. She’s an incredible friend, a collaborative colleague, a loyal family member, a phenomenal auntie, a fearless dog-momma, and a dedicated partner. She is a warm hug and a boisterous laugh. She is the first to show up with Gumbo, a dance-off, or a plan of attack, and now it’s OUR turn to show up for her.

Late last year, Meredith was diagnosed with breast cancer. Imagine getting the call that makes time stand still. While the big C word will always be a scary moment, we are grateful for modern medical science and research to help fight this. Her current plan is a bilateral mastectomy on January 23. The doctors anticipate 8 weeks of recovery and a second surgery later this year. While the prognosis is positive, this cancer battle is one that requires time, money, recovery support, and navigating a ton of emotional landmines.

As many of you know, Meredith started her own consulting business last year, so the timing of her diagnosis couldn’t have been crummier! While Meredith does have insurance, she anticipates significant out-of-pocket expenses. In addition to medical costs, Meredith doesn’t have paid FMLA or short-term disability. As a small business owner, Meredith’s safety net is incredibly thin. With 8 weeks of recovery for this surgery and an additional recovery period for the second surgery, she’s looking at 12-16 weeks of unpaid leave.

Can you rally to help Meredith? Any support you can give, whether it’s $100 or $10,000, can give Meredith the support and peace of mind she needs to focus on her recovery and gain the strength to come back better than ever. Every little bit helps, and we thank you in advance!

We urgently ask you to consider joining Mere’s Crew to show her that this community shows up when she needs us most!
