Supporting Renée's Fight Against Breast Cancer

Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and community members,

We come together today to support Renée, a strong and resilient single mother who is facing one of the toughest challenges of her life. Renée has recently been diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer known as invasive ductal and lobular carcinomas. To make matters even more challenging, her cancer has been identified as Triple Negative, making it more resistant to treatment. We are rallying our community to stand by her side.

Renée's journey ahead is challenging, but together, we can lift her spirits and ease her burden. Let us show her the power of community by rallying behind this brave mother and friend. Your support, both in contribution and in sharing her story, can be the beacon of hope that lights her way to recovery.

Diagnosis Details: Renée's diagnosis has revealed the presence of invasive ductal and lobular carcinomas, a combination that demands urgent attention. The cancer's classification as Triple Negative indicates a higher resistance to traditional treatments, with an higher rate of recurrence, underscoring the need for a comprehensive and aggressive treatment plan. The cancer is classified as grade 3 and stage IIb, signifying its mid-range size and involving her lymph nodes, further emphasizing the gravity of the situation.

Treatment Plan: Renée's treatment plan is rigorous and multifaceted. It encompasses a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy. Chemotherapy will target and hopefully shrink the aggressive cancer cells, followed by a surgical intervention to remove the affected tissue. The process will culminate in radiation therapy to ensure that any remaining cancer cells are eradicated. The immunotherapy will continue for a year. While these treatments offer hope, they also pose significant physical and emotional challenges.

Financial Burden: The treatments that lie ahead are not only physically taxing but also come with a significant financial burden. Renée's commitment to finding her healing path means that she will be unable to work for over a year, leaving her without a source of income to support herself and her two children. As a single mother, her responsibilities extend beyond her own well-being, and these financial expenses will only cause more stress while trying to heal.

How You Can Help: Renée's strength shines through even in the face of adversity, but she cannot conquer this journey alone. Your support can make a world of difference for her and her family. Any contribution, no matter how small, will directly assist Renée in affording the necessary treatments, ensuring her children are cared for, and easing the financial strain.
Please consider making a donation to Renée's GoFundMe page. Your generosity will not only alleviate the financial stress but also provide Renée with the emotional support she needs to find her way back to health. Additionally, sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and network will help spread the word and increase the impact of our collective efforts.

Thank you for your compassion, kindness, and unwavering support.

With gratitude,

Kris and Susanne
