<div>On October 27th, 2025 Patra received the devastating words no one wants to hear – “the report came back positive”. After a few weeks of appointments and testing, a Breast Cancer diagnosis was confirmed. To say this shocked Patra, her husband, their 3 kids, immediate and extended family is an absolute understatement. How in the world could a healthy, active, do it all wife &amp; mom of 3 receive such unexpected news? Unfortunately, as so many people know, it is all too familiar. After the initial shock wore off -the Patra attitude came out – let’s hit the ground running, get this done and move forward. While this is all still new and the future is unknown and a chapter no one expected it is one they are now walking through and ready to crush with family and friends behind them every step of the way.

<div>Patra and her family are so grateful for her medical team, catching it quickly and coming up with the aggressive treatment plan that will put Patra on the path of healing. We put this GoFundMe together to help cover the significant costs of medical and living expenses that they are about to face. With an unexpected leave of absence for an unknown period of time, the financial strain will hit hard. No donation is too small and any amount will aid in offsetting the strain. We understand it is a hard time for everyone but ask if it is within your means to please donate, and if not able to please share and spread the word.

<div>We want to thank everyone for this support and we look forward to closing off this chapter, but for now are ready for the fight ahead! If there is anyone that can kick cancer’s *ss, its Patra!

<div>My name is Samantha Mayo and I have been friends with the Winders Family for over 12 years now. As we know the story behind Patra and Jd is one no one can imagine. We are here to help raise funds that will directly help pay their medical bills, lost wages from time out of work and commuting/travel expensives related both Patra and JDs treatment.
