Help Oscar's mommy (Shelly) with cancer treatment

In July 2021, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 triple negative breast cancer and soon after Oscar and I lost everything in a house fire. In mid 2022, I finished treatment and was considered disease free. In early October 2023 while pursuing IVF to have another child, it was discovered that the cancer is not only back, it has spread to other organs. Triple negative cancer is the most aggressive cancer with a very poor prognosis. There is no cure for Stage 4 cancer and I will be undergoing chemotherapy until I (or my body) decide to stop.

I am raising money to cover medical expenses, bills once I am unable to work, and the ability to seek out advanced treatment options and clinical trials. Any additional funds will be used to help in the last stages of my life and to support Oscar in my absence.
