Help Blaise Beat Cancer & Give Birth To Our Baby
Donation protected
Hi my name is Eric, I'm a Combat Veteran of the United States Army and the husband of a beautiful woman named Blaise. Blaise and I have been married for over 3 years now and over the last year we have been trying to start a family. Finally we got the great news that she is pregnant, today Oct 6th 2021 she is 9 weeks pregnant, however during this time of the news she found a lump in her breast. She was seen by the doctor and yesterday on Oct 5th 2021 we got the news that she has breast cancer HER2. With her being pregnant we can't start treatment until the Second Trimester. Which is 3 weeks away. Once treatment starts she will take chemo every two weeks for the rest of the pregnancy. This type of chemo won't kill the cancer it will only slow the spread of the cancer. The reason for this is to protect the baby and once the baby is delivered they will be more aggressive with the chemo. After chemo she will need a mastectomy and follow up treatments.
During this time of treatment thru out the pregnancy she will have to take time away from her job which means less financial support. We are asking to raise $5,000 to help with her deductible and bills. Yes we realize that's not really enough to last thru roughly 10 months however we will also be applying for grants to help during this time. As well as I will still be able to still work and be there for her.
Anything donated over $5,000 will be an even BIGGER BLESSING because the Grants that we are going to apply for are not promised.
Both of us are huge advocates for Veteran Suicide and people in need when it comes to being in a dark place in their life. We are asking for a little help while we are in this dark place in our lives. We can't thank you enough and we know with your help that Blaise will beat this cancer and give birth to our beautiful baby. Even just $1 helps, it all adds up. Thank you ALL in advance!
