Hi, my name is Elaina, and I’m reaching out with a very heavy heart.

I was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. What began as two tumors in my left breast (both about 9mm) has since spread to the lymph nodes under my arm. A follow-up MRI revealed a third, smaller tumor, along with additional cancer spread to the lymph nodes in my chest.

I’ve had to stop working to begin treatment, and while I had some savings, they’ve quickly gone toward basic living expenses and medical bills. I’m currently waiting for my FMLA and disability paperwork to be processed, but I’m in a financial bind in the meantime.

I lost my son Owen in January, was gifted the most beautiful grandchild in April & 1 week later was given stage 3 bread cancer This has been one of the hardest year of my life—I not just physically and emotionally, but financially too. I’m doing everything I can to stay strong and fight this disease, but I can’t do it alone.

If you’re able to help in any way—whether it’s a donation, a share, or simply some words of encouragement—I would be incredibly grateful. Every little bit helps.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

With gratitude,

Elaina
