Hi! My name is Bailey, but my friends call me Vee. I’m 26 years old and have lymphatic cancer.

A bit about me and how cancer has affected my life: In 2024, my family’s closest friend was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and lost her battle in 2025. That summer, we got the news that my dad had stage 4 kidney cancer and needed to start treatment right away. Then, I got diagnosed with lymphoma in December of that same year. It has been rough on my family to help care for my dad and now me as well during our treatments.

I’m beyond blessed to have a loving family to help. My cousin and mom continue to be my two biggest supporters, along with my cat Pumpkin; she’s a sweetheart.

I’m making this fund because my chemo treatment makes me too sick to work like before. I’m an esthetician teacher, and while I tried my best to go when I could, as I do love my job and students, I’m just getting sicker with treatment and can’t keep up working during treatment.

My hope is to raise enough money to help my family care for me and care for my kitty while I’m unable to work.
