We wanted to show our appreciation to everyone who has helped support us during this journey. We could never express the importance of support from our family, friends and community. Every word of kindness, delicious meals and every little bit along the way has made us feel loved and support during such a difficult time.

We also wanted to extend our gratitude to the folks who have been able to help us with their donations big and small. It really means a lot to us. We would also like to give a general idea of where this money will go towards because we value transparency.

Here’s a basic list of expenses associated with my treatment that isn’t covered by insurance.

IVF treatment, fertility testing, storage for neo

Wigs, hats and accessories

Hospital parking

Occasional hotel stays near the hospital

Co-payments

Medications: prescriptions, over-the-counter meds, and supplements

Surgery related items: mastectomy garments, recovery pillows, hand-held shower nozzle, shower chair

I’d also like to include a thank you to the Ellie fund and the Julie fund, two local foundations that have helped us too.
