Haley’s Story

My name is Alexandria White, and I’m raising funds for my best friend of 15 years, Haley Lee — a devoted single mom, a bright light to everyone who knows her, and now a brave warrior in the toughest battle of her life.

In 2021, Haley was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer — one of the most aggressive and difficult types to treat. After rounds of chemotherapy, radiation, and endless appointments, she rang the bell in September 2023 to celebrate what we all hoped was her final treatment.

But in October 2024, just a year later, her world was shattered. The cancer returned — not just in her breast, but aggressively spread to her lungs, bones, brain, and other vital organs. It came back with a vengeance, and this time, the doctors told her there is no cure — that there is nothing more they can do… only provide treatments that might slow its progression.

She underwent brain surgery on September 11, 2025, after a tumor caused a brain bleed and temporary loss of vision in her left eye. Though doctors were able to remove the bleed and one tumor, her vision has not returned — and her body continues to be attacked from all sides.

Despite the pain, the fear, and the uncertainty, Haley remains who she has always been: a source of hope, strength, and joy. She has never complained, never asked for sympathy, and always finds a way to smile through the storm — encouraging others even while her world falls apart.

‍‍ A Mother First

Haley is a single mother to three incredible children:

• A son, Makai (18), a freshman in college

• A daughter (17), a senior in high school

• A younger daughter (8)

Since February 1st, 2023, she has been unable to work due to the physical toll of cancer. Her long-term disability benefits provide only $409 a month — barely enough to cover a single utility bill.

Meanwhile, she’s still responsible for everything:

• Mortgage & utilities

• Car notes & insurance (for herself and her older children)

• Groceries & daily living expenses

• A home health nurse costing $750 per week

• Medical co-pays, treatments, and transportation

• Clothes and care for her children

• College expenses for her oldest son

Her monthly financial burden is now over $6,200/month — and her savings have been fully depleted.

Why We’re Asking for Help

Haley has never asked for anything. She is proud, private, and fiercely independent. But now, she needs help to simply survive — and to keep her family together.

This campaign is to help cover:

• Immediate medical costs

• Mortgage and essential bills

• Home health care

• College expenses to support her son

• Transportation to and from treatments

• Basic living needs for her and her family

Any amount helps. Truly. Whether it’s $10 or $1,000, your gift can help relieve some of the crushing financial stress Haley faces — and give her more peace, dignity, and time with her children.

Let’s Lift Haley Up

Even in unimaginable pain, Haley chooses hope, strength, and gratitude. If you’ve ever met her, you know: she’s the first to show up for someone else. Now, it’s our turn to show up for her.

Please donate what you can, and share this campaign widely. Let’s help Haley focus on what matters most: spending as much time as she can with her kids, and living out her days with comfort and love — not stress and survival.

With deepest gratitude,

Alexandria White
