Emily is the kind of person who shows up—whether as a nurse, a volunteer, a caregiver, or a devoted Auntie. She is thoughtful, creative, and deeply respectful of everyone around her. Those who know Emily know her as someone who gives endlessly of herself. If you’ve ever been cared for by Emily, laughed with her, or leaned on her support, this is a chance to give back.

Recently, Emily was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. In the coming weeks, she will undergo a double mastectomy, followed by 20 rounds of chemotherapy. This treatment plan will require extensive time away from work for surgeries, appointments, recovery, and ongoing care. While Emily continues to face this diagnosis with remarkable grace and strength, the reality is that cancer brings overwhelming financial strain.

The funds raised through this GoFundMe will help cover medical expenses such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, doctor visits, and any necessary medical equipment. They will also help support household and family expenses during the time she is unable to work. Emily has spent her life caring for others. Now, she needs our help. Any contribution—whether a donation, a share, or a message of encouragement—will make a meaningful difference for Emily and her family as they navigate this difficult journey together.
