Who is putting on this fundraiser: Nichole, Rob, Nichole's sister Tiffany and our niece Katie.
My name is Nichole I’m 43 years old, a wife to my husband Rob for 20 years, and a proud mom to our three amazing boys.
In 2021, I was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. After treatment, in June 2022, I was declared cancer-free. We thought the fight was over.
Sadly, last week our lives changed again. After rushing to the ER for severe pain, doctors told us my breast cancer has spread to my lungs and lymph nodes. I am now symptomatic and dealing with a great deal of pain. Tripple neg breastcancer matastase stage 4 grade 3.
Our oncologist has been very honest with us — this is considered terminal, and the prognosis is not good. But we are not giving up. We will be pursuing both the traditional treatments covered by insurance, and additional natural therapies that come with significant costs. Just one IV treatment costs around $350.
We don’t like asking for help — in fact, it’s very hard for us to do this. But with the loss of income, rising medical expenses, and wanting to make sure I’m as comfortable as possible, we humbly ask for your support.
Your donations will go directly toward:
Natural and supportive treatments not covered by insurance
Covering lost income during this fight
Making sure I can be comfortable and present with my family
If I do pass the money will go to Rob to help cover the bills.
If you are able to donate, we are so deeply grateful. If you cannot, please consider sharing our story and keeping us in your prayers — we believe in the power of both.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us during this fight.
Love,
Nichole, Rob & our boys
