Help La-Trenda Overcome Breast Cancer

Donation protected
Every Dollar Makes a Difference

In October 2024, La-Trenda Ross discovered a lump in her breast. After several tests — including mammograms and ultrasounds — doctors confirmed the need for a biopsy in November. On December 2nd, at 6 PM, she received the heartbreaking diagnosis: breast cancer.

The news was devastating, but La-Trenda's spirit remains unshaken. Her family quickly rallied around her, and a wave of love and support poured in from friends and the broader community.

Even while enduring weekly chemotherapy sessions that last 3–4 hours, La-Trenda continues to show up for others — just as she always has. Now, she’s turning this challenge into purpose: launching a foundation in 2026 to support other women and men navigating cancer.

Why Your Support Matters Right Now

Fundraising Goal: $30,000

- $12,000 will help cover La-Trenda’s immediate medical and living expenses over the next 7–8 months.
- $18,000 will seed the foundation she’s building — a lasting legacy of love, service, and survival.
--------------------------------------------------

The Foundation Will Provide:

- Transportation to and from treatment
- Wigs, headwear, and support for hair loss
- Comfortable, essential clothing
- Gift cards for meals during treatment
- Weekend retreats to rest and recharge
- Help with basic living costs: rent, groceries, utilities, phone bills

It will also celebrate survivors and honor organizations that make a real difference in the cancer community.
