Support Savannah's Battle Against Breast Cancer

Donation protected
In January of this year, Savannah was diagnosed with ER+PR+ HER2- IDC breast cancer. She first discovered the lump last November on her birthday, marking the beginning of a challenging journey that has changed her life completely.

This year has been incredibly tough, both physically and mentally. Savannah has endured the harshest chemo treatments, two surgeries (with another still needed), countless tests, and procedures. She lost her hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes, and with them, a part of her identity. Most days, she's been confined to her bed, struggling even to walk to the bathroom alone. Her illness has prevented her from being present for her boys' activities and forced her to step away from work, taking a toll on the family’s finances and making her miss the connection she shared with her clients. Despite this, any energy she could muster was dedicated to her kids.

Her final round of chemo was in July, but the battle is far from over. Savannah continues to face numerous side effects that may never fully subside. She needs to take hormone therapy for the next 5-7 years, as her cancer is hormone-fed, plunging her into early menopause at just 37. She has dealt with pneumonia, infections, and dental issues caused by chemotherapy, requiring multiple root canals.

Savannah has kept much of her struggle private to protect her children, not wanting them to feel the weight of her illness. But they know, and it’s heartbreaking. Her youngest son, starting first grade this year, came home excited one day and told her, “Mommy, I made a wish today that you wouldn’t be sick anymore.” From a child’s heart to God’s ears.

Her husband has been their rock, juggling the roles of both mom and dad while being the sole provider. However, despite their resilience, they need a little extra help right now. The co-pays, ER visits, dental bills, and everyday expenses are adding up.

If you can spare even a few dollars, it would mean the world to Savannah and her family. No amount is too small. And if donating isn’t possible, sharing this page can also make a big difference. Together, we can help lighten the load for her and her family and get them back on their feet.
