Hi, we're Layla and Lyndsay, and we're doing everything we can to support our dear friend, Shelli.

In early 2024, Shelli discovered a lump in her chest. With a family history of breast cancer—both her mother and grandmother had been diagnosed—we feared the worst. Sadly, those fears were confirmed.

Since then, Shelli has endured a long and painful journey: countless doctor’s visits, radiation, hormonal therapy, and the emotional toll that comes with facing a life-threatening illness. It’s been overwhelming—but she has faced it all with strength and grace.

And we’re not giving up. We refuse to let this disease take anything more from her.

After months of fighting to be heard, a specialist finally listened. The tumor was caught early—but it is growing and will spread if not surgically removed. This surgery is urgent. It is critical. And it will save Shelli’s life.

Unfortunately, Shelli doesn’t have the means to pay for this surgery even with working 3 jobs, and navigating insurance has been incredibly difficult and frustrating. That’s why we’re stepping in—because we won’t let finances be the reason our best friend doesn’t get the care she needs.

This is about survival. About hope. About giving Shelli the chance to heal—without placing an unbearable burden on her or her family.

If you can help, we ask—humbly and with full hearts—for your support. Whether it’s through a donation, sharing this campaign, or keeping Shelli in your thoughts and prayers, every act of kindness makes a difference.

Thank you so much—for standing with us, and for standing with Shelli.

With gratitude,

Layla, Lyndsay, and the entire friend group
