Support Jessica's Battle Against Breast Cancer

Hello - my name is Jessica, I'm 38 years old, and I have advanced breast cancer. As you can see, I've gone through chemo treatments. The next steps are to have surgery, recover from that over 8 weeks, then have 20 treatments of radiation over 4 weeks. Whew, I'm already exhausted, but contemplating what I still have to go through is overwhelming. Of course, the bills keep coming regardless of what any of us have to deal with.

I'm a single mom of an 18-year-old daughter. She is amazing! She's smart, kind, and caring, and a beautiful young lady. She's doing great in her senior year of high school and will go to college in the fall of 2025. She works to help with our bills.

I work 2 jobs: one is full-time and the other is part-time for 12 hours a day. I worked both jobs all through my chemo treatments, but working isn't possible through surgery, recovery, and daily radiation treatments.

I am a proud Native American woman from the Lumbee Tribe. It is hard for me to ask for contributions, especially from strangers. I suppose many of you don't have it easy either and may be going through some very difficult times. Still, I cannot do this on my own. I want to be healthy and be with my daughter through all of her milestones, like college and an eventual wedding and later holding my grandbabies.

I would greatly appreciate anything any of you could contribute to help me get through the upcoming months of cancer treatments and medical bills.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you,

Jessica
