<div>If you know Amanda, you know she is the kind of person who is always there for everyone else. She is a devoted mom, a loving partner, a caring daughter, and an incredible friend who has always put others before herself. Now, she needs our support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In January 2025, Amanda found out she had a brain tumour and underwent major surgery to remove it. Just as she was beginning to heal, her family was dealt another heartbreaking blow when her mom was diagnosed with an aggressive form of lymphoma and started treatment. While supporting her mom, Amanda found out she had cancer as well. Sadly, her Mom passed away at the beginning of this year, just as Amanda was finishing chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, Amanda has received the news that the cancer has spread. She will be undergoing a different kind of chemotherapy and radiation for continued treatment later this year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Last year, Amanda and Josh purchased their first home together, excited to build a future with their family. Instead, they have spent the past year and a half navigating surgeries, treatments, hospital stays, grief, and uncertainty. Amanda has been unable to work during treatment, and Josh has taken time away from work to care for Amanda and their family. They are also exploring the possibility of specialized treatment outside of Canada, adding even more financial pressure.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are Amanda's friends and family, and we're asking for your help so she can focus on what matters most: family &amp; healing.

<div>Update from Amanda’s Dad Tom: To all that have shown tremendous support towards Amanda's journey to defeat cancer, we thank you all for such an outpouring of love and encouragement, it has truly been a blessing. Amanda was accepted and approved for readily available treatment in Mexico. She is now at the Medical Institute and going through preparation to receive this care made possible by the giving and loving help of friends, family and community.The process is long and intense but we all know Amanda is a fighter and will never stop believing in herself. She still needs your help and support to continue through this courageous battle. Please continue to share and support Amanda's message and help her defeat this incredible battle. ♥️✨️
