My name is Jennifer, and I'm running this fundraiser for my sister, Lorraine.

Lorraine is a loving wife and the proud mum of three beautiful children who are her whole world.
In March 2024, she was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. She faced chemotherapy and radiotherapy with everything she had, and after months of treatment, received the wonderful news that there was no evidence of disease. My family and I believed the nightmare was finally behind us.
Sadly, just 18 months later, our world was turned upside down again. She was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer that has spread to her lungs.
She has already undergone another round of chemotherapy, but despite everyone's best efforts, it hasn't cleared the nodules on her lungs. While this has been heartbreaking, she refuses to give up.
Her biggest wish isn't anything money can buy—it's simply more time. More birthdays, more bedtime stories, more cuddles, more family memories, and the chance to watch her children grow up.
After extensive research, Lorraine has been accepted for specialist treatment in Germany that isn't available to her at home. The treatment includes Dendritic Cell Therapy and TPCE (Transpulmonary Chemoembolization), giving her hope and another chance to continue this fight.
Unfortunately, the cost of treatment, travel, accommodation, and ongoing medical expenses is far beyond what my family can manage alone. Asking for help is one of the hardest things we have ever had to do, but today we are putting our pride aside for my sister and for the chance to keep making precious memories with her.
Every donation, no matter how small, will bring Lorraine one step closer to receiving this treatment. If you're unable to donate, simply sharing Lorraine's story with your family, friends, and community would mean more than you'll ever know.
I also want everyone who supports Lorraine to know that I'll keep this page updated throughout her journey.
A few words from Lorraine
Your kindness is giving me hope, and I want you to see the difference your generosity is making. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read my story, for your kindness, your prayers, your support, and for standing beside my family and me during the hardest fight of our lives. Every act of generosity brings me one step closer to more precious time with the people I love most.
With love and gratitude,
Lorraine
