Chemo Wig for Diane Pelinka

Donation protected
My sweet, sweet mother, Diane Pelinka, was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in December of 2023. She will undergo FIVE months of chemotherapy, starting at the end of the month, as this is an aggressive form of cancer. It will undoubtedly make her lose her hair.

She has been on the fence about getting a wig made before this occurs. On one hand, she was told to have a consultation while she still has her hair, so a wig can be made that actually resembles her real hair. On the other hand, she isn’t sure she wants to spend the money on a nice wig since she doesn’t know how she’ll feel without any hair.

I would like to give her the opportunity to get one so she doesn’t have to make yet another difficult decision. I want to give her this small semblance of normalcy as the next half year will absolutely be a whirlwind.

For those that pitch in, an HUGE shoutout. Big hugs and sloppy kisses! Any amount would be appreciated since a nice wig, made with human hair, can cost thousands of dollars.

Also, we’re all big believers in prayers, so those are welcomed, too!

UPDATE: Mom bought a wig! With our help she was able to purchase a nice wig made of human hair. Next step: styling. The wig cost a little bit more than we had raised so I am increasing the goal amount as people are still donating. Love you guys! Thank you for all you have done to show your support!
