Hello everyone,

Thank you for taking a moment to read and be a part of this journey with our family.

I’m reaching out to ask for your support and prayers for my sister, Andrea, who is courageously battling Triple Negative Breast Cancer — an aggressive and challenging form of breast cancer that requires immediate and intensive treatment.

Andrea was diagnosed in early July with this very aggressive cancer and she will be undergoing treatment for at least a year, including chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy. The road ahead is long and uncertain, but if there’s one thing I know about my sister, it’s that she’s a fighter.

In the midst of this life-altering diagnosis, her company has gone through a major restructuring and she has been impacted — leaving her family without a steady income at a time when financial stability is critical. Through all of this, what drives her forward every single day are her three beautiful children, all under the age of four. They are her light, her laughter, and her motivation to keep going even when things seem impossible.

Despite the enormity of this challenge, Andrea continues to show incredible strength, love, and resilience. She is one of the most caring, selfless, and brave people I know — always putting others first, even now. Watching her juggle motherhood, doctor appointments, and the physical toll of cancer treatments has been both heartbreaking and humbling. But she never complains. She simply shows up — for her kids, for her family, for herself. That’s why I’m starting this GoFundMe — to rally a community of support around her the way she has always supported the ones she loves. The funds raised will help cover medical bills, childcare, and help keep a roof over her family's head. Our hope is to allow her the peace of mind to focus fully on healing and being present with her husband and children.

Life is so overwhelming right now and it is hard to ask for help. But Andrea needs it, every little bit helps — no donation is too small. If you’re not able to donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping Andrea in your thoughts and prayers. Your kindness, generosity, and support mean more than words can express.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

With gratitude,

Heather
