Help Nikki’s family as she beats Cancer!!

Please support the loss of income for Nikki’s family as she battles Breast Cancer

My dear friend, Nikki Ostuni, has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer and is beginning chemotherapy and other medical treatments. And while she is strong and full of optimism today, her journey to eradicate breast cancer is just now beginning.

Nikki’s role of always being the helper has abruptly changed to being the receiver of help. And that’s uncomfortable for Nikki. She’s not one to ask for help for herself. I feel called to help my friend, her husband, and their 4 precious children during this time.

But I can’t do it alone.  

Nikki will be unable to work while she is receiving chemotherapy. She and her husband, Ben, have a small business; they clean homes and businesses. But since Nikki’s immune system will be weakened by her treatment, she can’t risk the exposure to cleaning products and bacteria that could make her very sick. Cleaning is hard physical work that requires energy, and supplying energy isn’t exactly chemo’s best strength.

Most devastating to her family’s finances now is the recent notice that they will be losing their most profitable client in April. Let’s all provide that large loss of income for Nikki and Ben so they can provide for their family while Nikki focuses on winning her cancer battle.

So, how can you help?

Donate!

Venmo your donation to replace her family’s loss of income. No amount is too small; donations add up! You can donate to Nikki directly at @nikkicyllus, and if you need to donate another way, just message me on this page.

Read Nikki’s journal on her Caringbridge page at https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/nikkiostuni  See pictures of Nikki and her family, read how her journey is progressing, and connect to her. Keeping that connection to you is life-giving to Nikki and you can connect with her by responding with your encouraging words.

Pray for Nikki and her family!

Nikki’s faith in her God and adoration of God’s people is not just strong, it’s unshakeable. But even Nikki knows this journey will test her faith like never before. This is where you come in! Pray for Nikki. Pray for Ben as he takes on Nikki’s work load. Pray for the provision of a new client. Pray for her children as they encourage their mother while also facing their own fears.

We CAN do this!

Together, we can ensure that Nikki and her family’s only focus is beating her cancer, trusting in God, and loving one another.

Thank you for helping my friend. Thank you for helping this family.
