I am organizing this fundraiser for Amanda, a valued teammate and devoted mom of two elementary aged kids.

A few months ago she finalized a difficult two year divorce. Soon after she found a lump. The biopsy confirmed breast cancer. Treatment began last month. She is managing appointments, side effects, and logistics while raising two young children.

Here is the reality most people do not see. Copays and prescriptions add up. Childcare is needed on treatment days. There are fuel and parking costs for hospital trips, quick meals near the clinic, and the everyday work of keeping the home steady for the kids while their mom focuses on care.

Amanda is steady, kind, and tough. Two little faces are counting on her. Together we can carry some of the load.

What your gift covers

Upstate Energy support

Upstate Energy is supporting Amanda through treatment with flexibility, encouragement, and steady wages. That matters, but it does not cover the cascade of non medical and out of pocket costs that cancer brings. This fund closes that gap so she can focus on healing and her children.

Shared with Amanda’s permission. We will keep updates concise and focused on treatment milestones and the impact of your support.

Every donation, large or small, reduces pressure and helps keep her home stable while she heals. If donating is not possible right now, sharing this page helps more than you know.

Thank you for standing with Amanda!
