Brenda’s Cancer Journey

Dear friends and family,

Over the summer, our beloved Brenda was diagnosed with cervical cancer. The good news is that her doctors have been able to successfully remove the cancer. However, the surgery, follow-up care, and pain management are very costly, and Brenda does not have adequate health insurance to support these expenses. Additionally, the treatment and recovery has required Brenda to miss quite a bit of work, so she’s also dealing with an impact to her income. This has been a scary time – facing a serious health crisis – and the financial burden makes the ordeal a lot more stressful.

If you know Brenda at all, you know that she’s one of the most giving people in the universe. For our family, Brenda has been more than a nanny — she has been an important member of our family and community. She provides selfless care to children and their parents, bringing an endless well of warmth, love, and patience to nurture the people around her. She’s been a stable presence at times in our lives when stability has been crucial. We are all lucky to know her and be loved by her. And her community of devoted friends and family, near and far, shows how much she is loved.

Let’s all give back to her by helping take the financial stress out of this difficult situation. We all want Brenda to be able to focus on her health, and get back to the happy business of planning with her fiancé Jesus for their wedding next year.

Thank you for giving what you can to support her. Your love and generosity are greatly appreciated.

With love,

Christine (a member of Brenda’s very large fan club!)
