“I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.”

My Happily Ever After

After a challenging fight against cancer, I am now focusing on rebuilding my life and navigating the next chapter of recovery.

During my cancer season, I lost income, acquired medical debt, had my car stolen and repossessed, and filed for bankruptcy, but in this season, I have faith that all things can be rebuilt.

Since entering remission, I have been blessed with the most beautiful surprise of falling in love with my now husband. We got married in a small courthouse, but will be celebrating and having our big wedding day this August with friends and family! We are saving for a house, reducing the debt acquired, rebuilding credit, and in the middle of it all, I have launched my business – Happily Ever After Cancer.

Happily Ever After Cancer was inspired by my own life and needs, to help those in the fight or in remission to have a community and resources. Please check out and donate to the Community Pot Campaign to help other women along in the journey!

The funds I am requesting in this campaign will help me cover the costs of medications, travel, my wedding, my business, and will aid in giving me a season of rest that is crucial for my continued well-being.

Your generosity will make a difference in my journey to a healthier, more vibrant happily ever, after cancer.

Community Pot

Cancer affects lives in multiple ways. While there is a fight to stay strong and endure treatments, there is also the reality that life, bills, and most responsibilities don’t stop when cancer arrives. Sometimes the financial stress alone can misalign all that cancer patients are fighting for, but we have a chance to make a difference!Please donate to directly impact the lives of women fighting cancer or those who have entered remission and are looking to get back on their feet. Every dollar raised will go to women who have joined Happily Ever After Cancer and applied for financial assistance (with proper documentation) to help them take a step towards their own personal happily ever, after cancer.
