Help Jennifer Beat Breast Cancer
Donation protected
Hi all, my name is Serena, and I'm setting up this fundraiser for my dear friend Jennifer. On February 3, 2023, Jennifer was diagnosed with Mixed Invasive Carcinoma Breast Cancer. Jennifer never experienced any symptoms and it was only discovered when she went in for her first ever mammogram after turning 40. Doctors are still trying to determine if lymph nodes have been compromised as well as looking into a suggestive spot in the other breast. After screening for genetic predisposition, it seems that this cancer occurrence sprang up on its own accord.
Jennifer will be going in mid-April for a double mastectomy and implant reconstruction. We are hoping this is a one-and-done surgery. The doctors do not believe that radiation will be necessary and are still discussing if chemotherapy will be required.
Your generosity and support would allow Jennifer to take care of the impending medical bills and allow her the time off to heal.
Your donated funds would be used to help cover:
Medical expenses
Recovery support
and some household expenses such as meals and assistance with cleaning while Jennifer is healing.
If you would like other ideas of how to contribute to Jennifer’s process and recovery visit her Caring Bridge page at https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jenniferstiffler
