This Breast Cancer Awareness Month feels much more personal for our family.

Jeanette has been diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer and is facing an aggressive year of chemotherapy, surgery, and treatment. She is expected to be out of work for at least a year while she fights and heals.

Jeanette is an Army veteran and truly an “I am woman, hear me roar” kind of woman—strong, determined, and always empowering other women. Now it’s our turn to lift her up.

Jeanette and our family also want to say: please get checked. Don’t wait. Early detection matters.

We are asking our friends, family, and community to rally around her. If you can donate, please do—no amount is too small. Every donation helps ease the financial burden so Jeanette can focus on healing. If you can’t donate, please share her GoFundMe and keep her in your prayers.

Jeanette has an army behind her. Now is our time to show up for her. My Family and I are now a part of this community. When you hear the word cancer, there are no words or expressions that comfort or paint a picture of hope at first. My wife is now beginning her journey. She’s the strongest woman I know and for 27 years she has been the air that I breathe. I’m asking for your help to ensure she’s comfortable and worry free while going through surgery and the recovery that lying ahead. Please give if you can, but more importantly please get screened.
