Story
My mom/Aubrie's grandma was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 50 just a few months ago. She has gone through a mastectomy, and they found the cancer has spread to her lymph nodes. We still yet have to do more testing to even truly confirm that we are only Stage 2B. She is going to be in radiation and chemotherapy - my biggest concerns for her at this time are her ability to purchase a wig that makes her comfortable and confident. To relieve some financial pressure off of her as the medical bills are stacking up. To allow her space to breath so she can focus on fighting this illness and not worry about any bills. To maybe spoil herself and get some self care items. Thank you for taking the time to be here on this page and to read this - I set this up for my mom and honestly she would probably protest it if she knew. She's always been an independent single mother of 3. She is just 50 years old and as a family we were all blindsided to learn that she has breast cancer. Julia, my mom - has been through so much hell in her life. She was dealt bad cards from day 1; a mother who abandoned her, a father who abused and exposed her to things young girls shouldn't go through. She would go on to be physically abused by nearly every man I've ever seen her with, one who broke her ankle just 7 years ago... (All of that until about 5 years ago when the angel of a human, David, walked into her life) My mother always did the best she could and we stayed in situations because we had nowhere else to go - but she did always manage to eventually escape and kept us 3 kids together. While we are all grown, seeing her become a grandma has been the greatest blessing. She is my best friend and anything that brightens her life even just your thoughts and prayers mean the world to me.
