Hi, I'm Dean, and I’m organizing this fundraiser for my friend Michele, who has been diagnosed with cancer and has a tough road ahead with continued treatment. Between appointments, medications, and time away from work, the costs are stacking up fast. There are extensive, expensive, and challenging treatments coming up soon.

We’re raising funds to help cover out-of-pocket medical expenses, medications, and basic living costs while she focuses on getting well. Every donation—large or small—moves her closer to the care she needs without the constant stress of bills.

Michele is the kind of friend who lights up every room she walks into. She’s endlessly loyal, the first to show up when someone else is in need, and somehow always finds a way to make people laugh even in the toughest situations. Her warmth, humor, and positivity have touched so many lives, and now it’s our turn to show up for her.

If you can donate, thank you. If you can’t, sharing this page helps more than you know. We’ll post updates here as treatment progresses. Your support gives Michele room to breathe and heal.

GoFundMe also allows monthly donations if you’d like to provide ongoing support throughout Michele’s treatment.
