Hi everyone,

My name is Katie, and I’m writing this on behalf of my incredible girlfriend, Kristen Lamping. On May 22, 2025, Kristen had a biopsy on two areas of her left breast. Just days later, we got the devastating news: Kristen has invasive ductal carcinoma—a form of breast cancer. Her diagnosis is now officially labeled BI-RADS Category 6: Biopsy-Proven Malignancy.

To say this shook our world would be an understatement. Kristen is 30 years old. She’s vibrant, strong, loving, and the kind of person who lights up every room she walks into. She didn’t deserve this—but she’s facing it with so much courage and grace, it leaves me speechless.

We’ve got a tough road ahead. Surgery is next, and oncologist visits will follow. There may be chemo or radiation, and Kristen will need time off to rest and recover. All of this comes with costs—some expected, many not. That’s why I’m reaching out.

What We’re Asking For:

I created this fundraiser to ease the financial pressure on Kristen so she can focus on healing, not hustling. Donations will help cover:

• Surgery and treatment costs

• Medications and follow-up appointments

• Living expenses while she’s out of work

• Transportation to and from treatment

• Any extra care or recovery support she may need

Kristen is the strongest woman I know—but even the strongest need help sometimes. If you can donate, no amount is too small. And if you can’t give right now, sharing this means everything.

Thank you for loving her with us. Thank you for showing up. Thank you for helping my girl fight.

With all my heart,

Katie
