Support Ariel's Fight Against Breast Cancer

Hi! I am Kim Rice, a Stage 4 Breast Cancer Survivor who was just told I was in remission. I am friends and former coworker with Ariel's mother Lisa. I know first hand how devastating Breast Cancer is to family, finances, emotions, and physical health. Please help me reach the goal set for Ariel. She deserves a CURE without having to worry about finances during this time. If you are unable to donate to help her situation, please pray for her, her doctors and nursing staff, and family as they begin one of the worst journeys ever. Thank you!!

In September, Ariel noticed a small lump and skin dimpling of her right breast. By the end of September, she had a mammogram and a biopsy. Ironically, she learned of her Breast Cancer diagnosis on the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, October 1, 2024. She was diagnosed with Stage II Grade 2 Estrogen Receptor+, Progesterone Receptor+, HER2- Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. She has faced a lumpectomy and lymph node biopsy. After surgery, she learned the cancer was also in her lymph nodes and would require hormone blockers, radiation as well as possible chemotherapy. She has several upcoming appointments that will give her the specifics of the treatments she will go through. We will update as these appointments occur. Ariel dreams of having children of her own so she has opted for egg retrieval and preservation so she has a chance of fulfilling these dreams. She has insurance coverage, but her share of the charges is on the rise.

Ariel was hesitant to agree to allow me to create a GoFund me page because she is so independent and hardworking. She finds it very hard to ask for help like this. However, at this time she desperately needs our help. Let’s show her how much she is loved and appreciated by easing the financial burden on her at this time.

Ariel is a beautiful 32 year old who lives for her furbaby, Pippa. She dreams of a beautiful family in the future. Ariel has always had a heart for others. She is a labor and delivery nurse of 10 years and has taken unpaid FMLA to face the fight of her life. She loves spending time with her friends, family, and especially her precious niece, Willow Belle.

She fills her tiny patio with plants, flowers and herbs. Ariel loves antiques and the stories behind them. Her mom says, she’s a young lady with an old soul. She loves to read, travel and visit historical sites. Visiting all of the presidential libraries is a must do. She will work hard to gain her life back and life as normal as possible

All funds will be used for medical bills, co-pays, medication, travel to and from doctor’s appointments, and monthly bills as she is off work for treatment and recovery for an unknown amount of time. If you can give financially, we thank you in advance. If not, please keep Ariel in your prayers daily as she travels through this unknown journey.

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 John 1:2
