Dear Community,

In December 2024, I was diagnosed with stage two metastatic breast cancer at age 38. I am fighting back with an aggressive treatment plan that includes chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, and hormone therapy—but the financial burden is overwhelming.

How Your Donation Helps:

$5 covers one ride to a followup appointment

$10 buys necessary medication for pain management

$20 covers a medical consultation co-pay

$40 helps pay for one chemo infusion

$50 helps pay for my surgery

As an academic, my salary doesn’t leave much room for these unexpected costs, so I am asking for your help to make this journey a little easier. Your generosity will allow me to focus on my health and healing, rather than financial strain.

If you can donate, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you cannot, please share this campaign with your network—it is just as valuable.

Your support is my lifeline right now, and I am so grateful to have you by my side.

With love and gratitude,

Tareva Johnson
