Help Support Katelyn Hebert’s Fight Against Cancer

Hello everyone, my name is Lori, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my beloved niece, Katelyn Hebert. Katelyn is just 33 years old—a devoted wife to James and a loving mother to two beautiful children, Aaliyah (14) and Aidan (10). On June 26, 2025, Katelyn received devastating news: she was diagnosed with triple-positive HER2 invasive ductal carcinoma, along with focal ductal carcinoma in situ. Her diagnosis is Stage 2, Grade 3.

That phone call changed everything. It was the most heartbreaking day of her life. Since then, her world has been turned upside down—physically, emotionally, and financially.

Katelyn is the sole provider for her family. Her husband James suffers from Hidradenitis Suppurativa, a painful and debilitating chronic skin condition that prevents him from working. While he receives disability income, it’s not enough to support their household.

Katelyn works as a cook at Roger Williams University and has always gone above and beyond—taking on extra cleaning jobs during her days off just to make ends meet. But cancer treatments have taken a toll. She’s had to cut back her hours and can no longer do physical labor due to the port in her chest and the exhaustion from chemotherapy and hormonal therapy.

Her treatment plan includes 9 rounds of chemo over 27 weeks, followed by surgery in February to remove her breast. The side effects are brutal—nausea, vomiting, fatigue, hair loss, and days where she can’t even get out of bed. Despite all this, Katelyn continues to work when she can, determined to hold onto her job and provide for her family.

She’s applied for grants through her hospital’s social worker, but these are one-time and slow to process. They barely cover the basics—food, rent, utilities, car insurance. Katelyn doesn’t have luxuries like cable; her kids read and play outside, and her daughter even volunteers at the library helping other children learn to read.

Katelyn is an incredible mother, wife, and friend. She’s given her family everything—love, support, and unwavering strength. Now she needs our help.

Please consider supporting Katelyn during this difficult time. She deserves to focus on healing, not worrying about bills. Every donation, share, and kind word makes a difference.

Let’s help Katelyn rest, recover, and fight this disease with the peace of mind she deserves.
