Support Lisa Ward's Battle Against Breast Cancer
Donation protected
Lisa Ward is an incredible woman and a beloved member of our community. For years, she has worked as a hair stylist, dedicating her time and talent to making people feel confident and beautiful. Unfortunately, Lisa now faces a challenging battle against breast cancer, which will keep her from working full-time over the next year due to the demanding treatments and recovery process.
As a commission-based hairstylist, Lisa earns her living based on the hours she can work and the clients she serves. With her treatment schedule—including chemotherapy, radiation, and numerous medical appointments—she is no longer able to maintain her usual workload. She will also need to take a month off of work following her breast reconstruction surgery to heal. This sudden and drastic change has placed a heavy financial burden on her shoulders.
Our goal is to raise $22,000 to help cover Lisa's essential living expenses, including mortgage, utilities, groceries, and the mounting medical bills that come with cancer care. Our goal is to relieve some of the financial strain so that she can focus her energy on healing and regaining her health.
Anyone who knows Lisa knows she has always given her heart and soul to her work and clients. Lisa has also played a vital role empowering cancer survivors and those suffering from PKU metabolic disease rebuild confidence by restoring their outward appearance with hair extensions and wigs throughout her careers. Now it’s our turn to give back to her. Every donation—no matter how big or small—will help provide stability and peace of mind during this difficult journey.
Please consider donating, sharing this campaign, or sending words of encouragement to show Lisa she’s not alone in this fight. Your support means the world.
