This is my best friend, Ella. She is an amazing mother to 2 adorable and playful boys. She is the fun and loving wife to her forever love. She is the most loyal and genuine friend, sister, cousin, daughter and aunt. To those of us who know her and are blessed to have her in our lives, we can speak to her unwavering resilience and strength not even for herself but also what she holds for others.

Early this summer, she was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer - that has spread to her lymphnodes. In a short period of time we went from FaceTiming about finding a lump, to getting a diagnosis, to having a mastectomy to remove 2 tumors to now, where she is going through her cancer treatment plan which includes 2 rounds of aggressive chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy.

With her current treatment plan and the impact that it will have on her physically, Ella will be out of work for at least the next six months. Her husband Cristen, will be supporting with her care and being the primary caretaker of their kids during this time. I am humbly asking for donations to support their financial costs over this period. Going through this is difficult, and the added financial burden is a stress that I would love that they do not have to face on top of everything else. All donations will go directly to Ella and her family to support with day to day expenses as she goes through her treatment.

Any and all amounts are deeply appreciated in a time where we know many people are facing financial instabilities.

Please keep Ella in your thoughts. We are all rooting for her as she goes through her treatment and we know our tough girl is gonna kick cancers ass! Thank you for any contribution you are able to make.
