Hi everyone,

My mom, Denise Rogers, is facing one of the toughest battles of her life after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. Everything has changed very quickly, and right now her full focus is on fighting this disease and getting through treatment.

She has begun an intensive chemotherapy plan known as TCHP, which includes four medications: Docetaxel (Taxotere), Carboplatin (Paraplatin), Trastuzumab (Herceptin), and Pertuzumab (Perjeta). Her treatments last 4 to 6 hours, and the side effects are severe—leaving her extremely sick for 1.5 to 2 weeks after each session.

This will be a long journey. After months of chemotherapy, she will need surgery, followed by even more treatment. The physical, emotional, and mental toll this has taken on her is overwhelming.

Along with everything she is going through, she is now facing financial stress, including the possibility of losing her vehicle—something she depends on to get to her treatments and appointments. The last thing she should have to worry about right now is how she will make it through financially.

I’m asking for help to lift some of that burden so she can focus on what truly matters—healing and fighting this battle. Any donation, no matter how small, would mean more than we can express. If you’re unable to give, sharing this fundraiser would help us tremendously.

Thank you so much for your kindness, support, and prayers during this time.
