Help Kim Pay The Bills During Chemo

Lets help pay Kim’s bills whilst she kicks cancers ass!
Kims maternity pay is coming to an end and obviously she is not in a position to go back to work with chemo starting next week. With the cost of living going up it would be great to take some of that stress away from her & Kris and help cover their living expenses.
Abit about Kim’s story for those who don’t know…
Kim found a lump in her breast in early pregnancy she thought it was due to changes in her body from pregnancy and didn’t think much of it. Fast forward 3 months, the lump is still there and Kim decides to go to the doctors to get checked out. At 35 weeks pregnant it’s confirmed to be grade 2 breast cancer and Leo was born by c section 5 days later so her treatment could begin.
In a matter of days Kim had gone from excitedly awaiting the arrival of Leo to finding out she has cancer and having a baby that is now in NICU.
Leo is now a healthy 7 month old boy and you wouldn’t know the rocky start he had.
After Kim’s first two surgeries were unsuccessful, the third finally had clear margins and she is now able to start her chemotherapy . She has faced cancer, surgery & heartbreaking results all whilst coping with a new baby.
When I first met Kim, I couldn’t believe her story and all that she was facing. I genuinely cried when I left that first coffee morning and couldn’t believe that a 30 year old woman with no family history of breast cancer could be facing such a heartbreaking diagnosis whilst being a mum to a new baby.
Since that day I don’t look at Kim and feel sad (don’t get me wrong life is cruel and unfair)but I’m just in awe of her. She has taken on motherhood & cancer with a super human level of strength & humour I can barely comprehend. She is one of the most inspirational people I have ever met and the type of friend we would all hope to be.
So when Kim told me how tight things were getting I knew we had to do something to help. Fiercely independent always but she is there for everyone and deserves to fight cancer without worrying about where the money to pay the bills is coming from.
I know things are tight for everyone at the moment but if you have anything you can spare to help Kim, Kris & my bestie Leo that would be incredible!
