As few of you may know, my dear sister Krystal McNutt has been diagnosed with triple negative intensive mammary carcinoma, an invasive form of breast cancer. Shortly after finding a painful lump in her breast, my sister bravely started the journey with a mammogram and biopsies, followed by an MRI, and proceeding with oncologist appointments. On April 9th upon receiving the biopsy and mammogram results we confirmed the news that the lump was malignant, and has also spread to her lymph nodes. This heavy news that the biopsy confirmed our largest worry, has left us whirling. This journey has only begun and we are doing everything in our power as a family to support Krystal, Nick, and their daughter Velina as we take it one day at a time.

My loving sister is a daughter, a mother, a wife, a friend, and an incredibly important part of our life. Anyone who is blessed to know my sister, knows what a ray of sunshine and warmth she is to everyone that she meets, and now it is our turn to return that same warmth and love to her. During this incredibly difficult time, we are gently asking for support for my sister and her husband as they navigate through this mentally taxing time and costly process.

This diagnosis has had a huge impact on both her and her husband’s daily life. Between taking time off work for attending appointments, braving necessary treatments, covering medications, travel costs, medical equipment, living expenses, childcare, house upkeep, and therapy to ease the overall physical, emotional, and mental toll, this has created an overwhelming financial strain. Any amount, no matter how small, will bring peace to a home that is doing its best to stay strong for Krystal and will support our family in helping Krystal to focus on her healing and regaining strength for what is to follow.

Your kindness gives her strength, your support gives her hope, thank you for standing with us. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page would mean the world to Krystal, Nick, Velina, and our family.

With much love, Jade & the McNutt family.
