Be One of the 4,000 to Save Lauren's Life
Donation protected
For those who are just getting to know Lauren, she’s a dedicated mom of two joyful young girls (2 and 6), an active community member, an avid hiker, biker, and skier, and a business owner. She is bravely battling Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer, and unfortunately, her initial treatments have failed sooner than conventional doctors anticipated.
Conventional Oncologists have told Lauren point blank that her future is one harsh Chemo after another until the Cancer resists them all, and then she will die. So, it’s the end of the road. BUT she has found a path to remission with far more innovative procedures that aren’t being done in the U.S. yet, and are not covered by health insurance.
Lauren's research so far has led to her being able to maintain stability, but it's costing her an unsustainable $6,250/month (supplemenets, high-dose Vitamin C, Haelan951, PEMF, red light therapy, off-label repurposed drugs, and more). She also has endured one-time costs such as:
- 16 trips to MD Anderson (flights, hotel, food, extra childcare)
- An in-home water purification system to enhance the quality of her drinking water, crucial for her body's healing process
- A 65% increase in grocery bills over the last 13 months due to switching to a whole food, plant-based diet (no more Dorito’s, folks!)
- Going on medical leave and losing her full-time salary.
- RGCC testing out of Switzerland to test her tumor cells responsiveness to different treatments in-vitro (also not covered by health insurance), which has proved invaluable to getting her to stability now.
- Extensive Cancer source tests to determine root cause.
She has exhausted her family's financial resources keeping her in good shape until now, and we need help to get her across the finish line.
