My name is Jaurice, I'm a great 34-year-old mom to 3 beautiful children ages 15, 13, & 8. Im kinda a Jill Of All Trades too lol. I am a family photographer, but newborn photography is my favorite.

In 2023, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer with a genetic mutation (PalB2) after having a lump the size of a pebble dismissed by my doctor, then a second that turned into a tennis ball-sized tumor. I went through so many rounds of chemo, radiation, mastectomy, reconstruction surgery, and hormonal therapy. I had completed all of this. I was free for almost 2 years, and then just last month, 10/2025, what I thought was just a cold or flu was actually the return of my cancer. I now have Stage 4 Breast Cancer that spread to my lungs, pelvis, and stomach. There is no cure, just different toxic treatments to keep comfy.

My kids have to deal with growing up without a dad already (passed 6 years ago), now potentially a mom and it saddens me everyday thinking about it. Everyday is uncertain for my kids and myself finacially too. I can't work due to being in pain all the time and being drained from the chemo. So please help my family. Anything helps, I really want to live the rest of my life happy and knowing that my kids are well taken care of. I need to focus on the quality of my life and enjoy every moment with my kids and get back to doing what I love. But bills and everyday expenses are piling up. My goal is to take my kids on their first international trip while i have a bit of energy left in me. Help me meet that goal. Thank you everyone
