Help Rosebud Fight Breast Cancer!

Our beautiful friend Rosebud is 43 years old and is facing a battle no one should have to face.

A couple of months ago, Rosebud was diagnosed with breast cancer. Just one week ago, she underwent a double mastectomy and is now beginning the difficult road of recovery. Her treatment journey is far from over, as she will also need some form of chemotherapy and radiation in the months ahead. (The road map to the other side is still being drawn out.)

For anyone who knows Rosebud, you know that asking for help does not come naturally to her.

Rosebud was born with cerebral palsy and has faced obstacles throughout her life that many of us could never imagine. Yet she has never allowed those challenges to define her. She has always worked, supported herself, remained independent, and somehow continued to be one of the most positive people you could meet. She isn’t someone who complains about what life has handed her. She gets up, keeps going, and is often the first person to help someone else when they need it.

And now, it’s our turn to help her.

This battle is especially emotional for Rosebud because she lost her mother to breast cancer when she was younger. She has already had to navigate so many of life’s uphill battles without her mom beside her, and now she is facing the very disease that took her mother.

As Rosebud recovers from surgery and begins chemotherapy and radiation, she will likely be unable to work for some time, in contrast to the two jobs she normally carries to make ends meet. The last thing we want Rosebud worrying about while she is fighting cancer is how she is going to pay her bills, keep a roof over her head, or afford the medical care she needs.

We are asking our family, friends, community, and anyone touched by Rosebud’s story to surround her with the same love and generosity that she has shown others throughout her life.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will help with expenses and life that doesn’t stop simply because someone is fighting cancer.

If you are able to give, even a small amount, we are incredibly grateful. If donating isn’t possible, please share Rosebud’s story. And if you can’t donate or share, please say a prayer for her…for healing, strength, peace, and comfort throughout this journey. Every prayer matters. Every share matters. Every act of kindness matters.

Rosebud has spent her life proving just how strong she is. But even the strongest people shouldn’t have to fight alone.

Let’s remind her that she doesn’t have to.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for loving Rosebud, helping like you already have, praying for her, sharing her story, and helping carry her through this next chapter. ❤️

It’s Rosebud’s turn to be cared for.
