Hi everyone,

In an instant, everything changed for Stef and Anthony.

Over the past year, they have been navigating so much together...managing Stef’s chronic illness, going through IVF, and continuing to show up for their work, their family, and their community. In the middle of all of that, Stef recently found a lump in her breast.

After testing, Stef was diagnosed with stage 2, grade 3, triple-negative invasive ductal carcinoma...a fast-moving and aggressive form of breast cancer, which is why everything is now moving so quickly.

In the weeks ahead, Stef will begin intensive chemotherapy, followed by surgery, radiation, and immunotherapy. This will be a long and physically demanding process that will require her to step away from work and focus fully on treatment and recovery.

If you know Stef, you know how much of her heart she gives to others. Showing up for people is who she is, which makes this season especially difficult. And if you know Anthony, you know how deeply he loves her. Stef is his whole world, and he will be right by her side through every step of this. Her treatment will require significant care and support, and Anthony will need to step away from work to help her through it.

Along with the emotional weight of this diagnosis, there is also a significant financial impact. Between medical appointments, treatment, medications, and time away from work for both of them, the expenses are already adding up quickly.

Because of Stef’s dietary restrictions and ongoing health conditions, a traditional meal train isn’t the best way to support them. Instead, we are asking for help in this way so Stef and Anthony can focus fully on her treatment and recovery without the added stress of financial strain. Funds will go toward medical expenses, treatment-related costs, and day-to-day living expenses during this time.

If you’ve been asking how to help, this is the most impactful way right now.

Thank you for surrounding them with love and support.

With gratitude,

Organized by Toni Mastromarino & Lauren O'Reilly
