I’m desperately asking for your help to save the love of my life from cancer.

My wife, Kristin, is fighting aggressive stage 4 IDC metastatic breast cancer with rare complications. Her cancer journey has been devastating physically, emotionally, and financially.

At 47 she’s endured this very difficult journey so far with courage, strength, and faith.

We’re not giving up because there is still so much hope for her survival if we can act fast enough.

Kristin currently needs specialized life-saving treatments as quickly as possible. This life-saving care isn’t available where we live and includes medical costs not covered by insurance. Kristin’s medical team here at home are in full support, and they agree she needs to do this as fast as we can to help save her life. Unfortunately, all the costs are far beyond what our family can manage alone.

We are humbly asking for your support.

All funds raised will go directly to Kristin’s care including:

• Highly specialized medical treatment and hospital bills

• Prescription medications

• Travel and lodging for out-of-town treatment

• Supportive therapies to help her stay healthy during treatments

We are seeking financial contributions of any amount, large or small. Every single one is welcome and appreciated. If you can’t contribute financially, please consider helping us in other ways.

You can help to:

• Share this fundraiser with your networks anywhere and everywhere you can: on social media, by text, phone, email, and word-of-mouth. You can help spread the word.

• Pray for Kristin, our family, and her medical team

• Leave comments of love, care, encouragement, and support for Kristin. She would love to hear from you.

Our desperate plea is more than just asking for your financial help. This is about giving my wife, who is so dearly loved by me, our family, and many others, the chance she needs and deserves to keep fighting with the treatments essential to not only helping her beat this, but to also heal her body, and survive.

Kristin means so much to so many. She is my soulmate, the light and love of my life. She is the beating heart of our family and our circle of friends. She makes life special and magical for everyone, anyone, all the time. She is a loving mother, grandma, wife, daughter, an educator, a caregiver/volunteer, and a dearly loved friend. Kristin has spent her life selflessly giving of herself and always showing up for others. Now she needs us to show up for her.

From the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of our entire family, we are endlessly grateful for your love, kindness, prayers, generous support, and willingness to help save my sweet Kristin’s life and for standing with her in this fight. Thank you!

With gratitude,

Ali Hashmi and Family
