Help Kirsten beat TNBC
Donation protected
I have a story to tell you. It's a love story of two people desperately seeking love ,connection and happiness, who finally find it and are then hit with tragedy.
Hello, everyone. My name is Jim and our story begins 20 years ago when both Kirsten and I were married to different people. I lived in NY and she lived in North Carolina.
I spent the last 20 years raising a family in a marriage that was essentially devoid of emotional connection. Kirsten had similar experiences but never had children. She always wanted them and I always wanted more.
Fast forward 20 years and we're both divorced. I had to move to NC to get a job because the costs of living in NY were just too high. Kirsten decided it was time to put herself out there again with encouragement from her friends.
I saw Kirsten online one day; we were both using an online dating app. She uploaded her pictures and they were rotated counter clockwise 90 degrees. It was the main reason I stopped to look and I was immediately attracted to her. So I used that "glitch" to break the ice.
Suffice it to say, we've been attached at the hip ever since. We did everything together. We instantly became best friends and partners in everything, no matter how small.
Then one day in October, she walked out of the bathroom in a mild panic and said to me that she felt a lump on her breast . I didn't want to raise alarm bells so I just said it was probably a lymph node. It was around the same area and I've had swollen nodes before and it felt like that. Unfortunately after a diagnostic mammogram in October , it was determined to be breast cancer. Around the same time this happened, I lost my job due to a corporate restructure.
Our world of happiness, love and adoration was completely rocked. We all sprang into action and her mom, who is a nurse, was able to line up the best team of people to attack this.
I love Kirsten with all of my heart and soul. We are literally the same person in different bodies; we are each other's person and I always by her side.
My fiancé ,Kirsten, was officially diagnosed with stage 1 ,grade 3, triple negative breast cancer on November 16th. On November 18th, I asked her to marry me. I refuse to have found the woman of my dreams just to have her ripped away from me.
We are going to fight this and we are going to win. However, we need help. With me out of a job and her on disability during the chemo treatments, it's going to be very difficult financially. Please help us beat this! I and her family love Kirsten so much and we are completely engaged in this battle, but it's going to be tough .
We appreciate anything you can do to help us beat this. Every little bit helps. If you can't help financially, please keep us in your prayers. We know God is with us throughout this journey.
Thank you all!
Jim, Don, Alice, Seth and our extended family.
