Fundraising Honor Roll
Breast cancer has affected too many people I love. That's why I've joined Making Strides Against Breast Cancer to honor survivors and thrivers, remember those we've lost, and offer up support to anyone in our community who's been affected by it.
The funds I'm raising will sustain critical research and provide services for people trying to cope with their breast cancer experience. Believe me, every dollar really does count, so I'm asking you to please donate today.
Here's the short version of my mom's story
In early November 2023, I received a call from my mother who shared with me what her doctor had told her. My daughter and I knew something was wrong because she kept telling us her doctor kept sending back for more tests. We told her, "the doctor is sending you for more tests because she saw something and was trying to make sure it was just that". She told me she indeed had Breast Cancer. I really did not know what to say but my mom said, "they can take both of them for all I care" Less than 5 minutes after I got off the phone with my mom, my sorority sister called and told me the she too was diagnosed with breast cancer. When I tell you I was at a total lost for words.
Fast forward to January 2024, I went to her pre-op appointment to ensure I knew how to help them with her healing process. I felt like I was back in school taking notes and asking questions. On Feb 9, 2024, my mom had a mastectomy removing her left breast. My dad and I stayed in the room until they took her off to surgery. He actually wanted to stay until she got out but the doctor said he should go home because after all he was still recovering himself from having a stroke on the freeway 3 days after my mom told us she had Cancer. I can tell both of them were stressed out. After the surgery was over, my mom was home recovering for about 3 months before she even stepped a foot outside. 7 months later, she has seen her surgeon who says shes healing good.
Because both my mom and soror are healing, I am now doing my part to walk to honor them.. Please make a small donation to help me reach my goal of $500. You can click the link or send the money directly to me $Reba1920, zelle/paypal mspetite105@yahoo.com. Once I get enough donations I will add it to my total and pay the fees!
I thank you in advance

Your support allows the American Cancer Society to continue:
Advocacy
Fighting breast cancer in city halls, statehouses, and Congress by elevating the patient voice to advance policy change through the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN)
Patient Support
Ensuring no one feels alone at any point on their breast cancer journey, from prevention to survivorship, and, for some, the end of life.
Discovery
Investing in breakthrough science to find more - and better - treatments, uncover factors that may cause breast cancer, and improve patients' quality of life.
Health Equity
Ensuring that all people have a fair and just opportunity to prevent, find, treat, and survive breast cancer. ACS and ACS CAN believe all people should have a fair and just opportunity to live a longer, healthier life free from cancer regardless of how much money they make, the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, gender identity, their disability status, or where they live.
