Hey! I'm Breeze, and I’m fundraising on behalf of my friend Kay. Kay is a 24 year old Black femme who has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. Kay sought medical guidance from over 5 different doctors over the past year but unfortunately found that her needs were dismissed repeatedly, leaving her undiagnosed and scared. Determined for answers, she kept fighting and finally her concerns were heard.

 

Kay is fortunately insured, however, the out of pocket costs are already creating financial hardship for Kay and her family, and treatment has not yet begun. Kay has not been able to work her normal hours due to the mental and physical distress that this is causing her as well. The funds raised here will be used to pay the remaining balance for surgery and radiation and to cover living expenses (rent/food/etc.) for the next 5-8 weeks while Kay recovers from treatment. This will also help set Kay up with mental health services to cope with her increased anxiety. Any left over funds will be distributed to mutual aid.

 

We understand this is a difficult time for almost everyone financially so any contribution would be appreciated. If you can’t contribute, sharing this to help us meet the goal would be appreciated. Let’s keep Kay’s lovely smile shining and support her through this time of difficulty.

 

If you know Kay personally, you know about her giving heart, her desire to help others, the work she does for her community, and of course, that infectious laugh. Kay has always been one to support others, so I hope we can show up for Kay right now while she needs us.
