Support Rosie’s Fight Against Breast Cancer

Donation protected
Hi everyone,

My name is Rosie, and this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write. Recently, I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. After meeting with my oncologist, I learned that my tumor has doubled in size and I will need to begin intensive treatment immediately, including weekly chemotherapy for the next five months.

As many of you know, I am self-employed. Between running my shop, doing hair, producing events, singing, and pouring my heart into my businesses, I’ve always worked hard to support myself and my family. Unfortunately, due to how aggressive my treatment will be, my doctors have advised that I will not be able to continue working during this time.

This means I will temporarily have to step away from my shop and the work I love while focusing fully on my health and healing. The emotional weight of this diagnosis has already been overwhelming, and now I am facing the financial stress of keeping up with rent, bills, treatment-related expenses, and everyday living costs while unable to work.

If you know me, you know it’s difficult for me to ask for help. I’m usually the person trying to make others smile, create beautiful experiences, and push through everything quietly. But right now, I truly need support.

Any donation, no matter the amount, will help ease the burden during this fight and allow me to focus on getting through treatment and healing. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping me in your prayers means more than you know.

Thank you for reading my story, for supporting me, and for standing beside me during the hardest season of my life. I am holding onto faith, strength, music, love, and hope as I prepare for this journey.

With love,
Rosie
