Stand with Jen: A Second Fight Against Cancer

Help Jen Fight Breast Cancer — Again

We never thought we’d be here again.

My amazing sister, Jen, is facing breast cancer for the second time — this time at age 40, and this time requiring a double mastectomy and a long, difficult recovery.

Jen’s first battle with breast cancer came when she was just 25. She bravely went through chemotherapy and radiation, and after enduring so much, she was told there was only a 5% chance of the cancer ever returning.

Now, nearly 15 years later, it’s back.

If you know Jen, you know how strong, loving, and generous she is. She’s a devoted daughter, the best sister and auntie we could ask for, and a loyal friend to so many. She brings light, humor, and kindness to everyone around her. Even in the face of this terrifying diagnosis, she’s been nothing but brave.

But this fight is big. It’s expensive. And it’s long.

We are humbly asking for your help as Jen prepares for surgery and begins the healing process. Anything you can contribute — no matter how small — will go directly to supporting Jen in her treatment and recovery.

How you can help:

️ Gift Cards

Amazon: for post-surgery supplies and comfort items

Food delivery services (DoorDash, Grubhub, etc.): to help with meals when she’s unable to cook

Monetary Donations

For medical bills, recovery tools, transportation, and everyday needs during recovery

Other Support

If you’d like to contribute in another way — meals, care packages, or anything else — we would be so grateful. Please reach out directly.

Every dollar, every share, every kind word means the world to Jen and our entire family.

Let’s surround her with the love and support she has always shown others. Together, we can help lift the weight of this fight and remind her she’s not alone.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With love,

Jen’s Family ❤️

We’re heartbroken to share that our dear friend Alex passed away far too soon. His light, his laughter, his incredible spirit — they touched so many, and his absence is deeply felt.

Hi everyone — Angela here, writing on behalf of Matthew (for now). On December 6th, completely out of the blue, Matthew suffered a severe stroke.
