My name is Nikole, and I am reaching out during one of the most challenging times of my life. I recently underwent a Radical Vulvectomy to remove a malignant, baseball-sized tumor. The diagnosis was overwhelming, and it came just as I lost my job and my unemployment benefits ended. Now, I am preparing to begin chemotherapy and radiation, which will prevent me from working for the foreseeable future.

The financial strain of this situation is immense. With no income, I am struggling to cover basic living expenses, transportation to and from my treatments, and the mounting medical bills that come with cancer care. Every day is a new challenge, but I am determined to fight for my health and for my future.

I am especially motivated by my two bright sons, ages 19 and 21, who are just beginning their lives as adults. They need their mamma around, and I want to be there for them every step of the way. Your support—no matter the amount—will make a real difference in our lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, generosity, and encouragement during this difficult journey.
