Cherish Support Crew

As many of you know, my sister Cherish is preparing to undergo a double mastectomy on 10/21 due to her BRCA2 gene mutation and a mass that needs to be removed. This is the beginning of a long journey of surgeries, healing, and recovery. Following her double mastectomy, she’ll undergo reconstructive surgery approximately 8–12 weeks later, as well as a hysterectomy scheduled for December 2nd. Needless to say, she has a lot ahead of her, both physically and emotionally. If you know her, you know she’s usually the one who has it all figured out. She’s the one making plans, cracking jokes, showing up for the people she loves, and finding a way to keep moving forward no matter what life throws at her. But this season of life has been different. Between preparing for multiple surgeries, managing work, getting her home ready, and processing the emotions that come with it all, she’s carrying a lot. And if there’s one thing she’s admitted, it’s that asking for help doesn’t come naturally to her. That’s where we come in! ❤️ We’re organizing this Meal Train to help take one thing off her plate (literally!) so she can focus on resting, healing, and spending time with the people she loves without worrying about what’s for dinner. Whether it’s a home-cooked meal, restaurant delivery, gift card, or even a coffee in the morning or Diet Coke to fuel her addiction, every little bit of support will make a difference. And if you’re unable to help right now, please know there will be more opportunities! With her hysterectomy in December and reconstructive surgery to follow, she’ll be facing multiple recovery periods. We’d love to continue surrounding her with support throughout each one. She’s spent so much of her life showing up for others, and now it’s our turn to show up for her. Thank you for helping us surround her with love, encouragement, and a few good meals as she navigates this next chapter. 💗
