Dear family and friends,

As many of you already know, our beloved Nicole is bravely facing Stage 2 breast cancer, a "triple positive" diagnosis that responds well to treatment. Discovered early through her annual mammogram in September, Nicole embarked on a treatment plan comprising six rounds of chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. The good news? Her recent checkup revealed positive progress – a testament to her resilience and the effectiveness of the treatment.

Nicole's journey hasn't been easy, but the outpouring of support from our incredible community has been nothing short of inspiring. From shared meals to playdates, carpooling, and more, you've shown up for her and her energetic boys, Jackson (9) and Xander (7).

Now, we're reaching out to extend our support even further. This fundraiser aims to alleviate the growing financial burden on Nicole. Your contributions will enable her to focus on her well-being, both emotionally and physically, during this challenging period. Additionally, it will help cover day-to-day expenses for her family.

Nicole's strength and resilience are admirable, but we recognize the toll this journey takes. As we all know, our healthcare system is flawed, and the costs associated with treatments can be overwhelming. Furthermore, alternative therapies, which often provide much-needed relief, are not typically covered.

Let's rally together to ensure Nicole experiences the joy of health and happiness. Your financial support will empower her to explore treatments that contribute to her overall well-being. Nicole deserves to be present with her boys, friends, and family – surrounded by love and support.

Thank you for standing by this beautiful soul. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference in Nicole's life.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Karen
