Hi everyone,

As many of you already know, I was recently diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma grade 3 — an aggressive form of breast cancer — at just 35 years old. Since receiving the diagnosis, things have started moving very quickly. I now have a breast MRI scheduled this Wednesday followed by surgery shortly after as doctors continue determining the best treatment plan moving forward.

One of the biggest challenges we are facing right now is that my douglas recently switched jobs, leaving our family temporarily without insurance coverage in the middle of all of this. Between biopsies, specialist appointments, imaging, upcoming surgery, travel, gas, missed work, and everyday bills, the financial stress is starting to build very quickly.

Anyone who knows us knows asking for help is not easy for me, but so many people have reached out asking how they can support our family during this time. After a lot of encouragement, we decided to create this GoFundMe to help ease some of the burden while we focus on my health and our family.

We still do not have all the answers yet, but we are taking things one appointment at a time. I have an incredible support system, amazing family and friends, and I fully plan on fighting this with everything I have.

If you are able to donate, share, pray, or simply keep our family in your thoughts, we are beyond grateful for every bit of support.

And ladies — please do your self checks and keep up on your appointments. I never imagined this would happen to me, especially with no family history.

Thank you all so much for the love, support, prayers, and encouragement already shown to our family. ❤️
