Hello kind souls,

My name is Nicole, and I am reaching out on behalf of my incredible friend Erika, a resilient single mom of two amazing children, who is facing the fight of her life. At 42, she has been diagnosed with triple negative invasive breast carcinoma, an exceptionally rare and aggressive form of breast cancer. Her strength and courage have already seen her through a challenging journey, including surgery at the renowned MSK Josie Robertson Surgery Center in NYC.

Before this horrific diagnosis, life was already testing her limits. After being forced to leave her home in New Jersey to relocate back to Long Island, and enduring a five-month-long strike from work, she was confronted with this life-altering health crisis. The road ahead is daunting: she has undergone a double mastectomy and cannot work for at least six weeks. Following this, she faces a grueling 3-5 months of chemotherapy.

In these moments of vulnerability, we are calling on the compassion of this community. Your support will provide much-needed financial stability for her and her children during her recovery and treatment period. It will help cover medical expenses, living costs, and ensure her children’s needs are met without additional strain during this challenging time.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in their lives. Let’s rally together to support this brave mom in her battle against breast cancer. Your generosity can bring hope and light during this dark time.

Thank you for considering a donation. Please share this campaign with your network to help spread the word. Together, we can make a difference.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Erika’s friend Nicole
