<div>Well… apparently life looked at my file and said, “She can handle a little more.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the last few years, I’ve learned more about grief, resilience, and surviving the unimaginable than I ever wanted to know. After losing my twins 2½ years ago, I focused on putting one foot in front of the other and being the best mom I could be to my two beautiful daughters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now life has thrown another curveball: <strong>breast cancer, stage 3.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To be clear, this was NOT on my to-do list.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a single mom, my days are usually spent juggling school drop-offs, homework, laundry, yard work, and everything else that comes with raising two young girls. Now those responsibilities are being joined by endless doctor appointments, treatments, scans, upcoming surgeries and recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The good news? If there’s one thing I’ve proven, it’s that I don’t quit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The not-so-good news? <strong>Cancer is expensive.</strong> Between medical costs, time away from work as a NICU RN, travel, and everyday bills, the financial burden adds up quickly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So, for someone who hates asking for help, here I am asking anyway.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re able to donate, share this fundraiser, send a prayer, or simply cheer me on from the sidelines, it means the world to me and my girls.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m still navigating how to survive the heartbreak of losing my girls, BUT I AM determined to survive this too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And if breast cancer thought it was showing up to fight a tired, defeated woman, it picked the wrong momma.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping me focus on healing, loving my daughters, and showing cancer exactly who it’s dealing with.
</div>
