Provide living expenses for Yvonne after surgery

Donation protected
My name is Maureen and I've known Yvonne since college - so for many years. She is one of my nearest and dearest friends and is one of the most generous, helpful people I know. When someone needs help, she's one of the first to respond. This time, she is the one who needs the help. She has breast cancer.

Yvonne's first fight with breast cancer was 20 years ago. During this battle, she was caring for her ill mother, who passed away while Yvonne was going through treatment. Now, she just learned that her breast cancer is back - and in the same breast. She is one of the 5% whose cancer returns like this.

Yvonne is about to face surgery+recovery and four months of chemotherapy. During this time, she will be unable to work (she's a DoorDash driver), unable to drive, and unable to provide for herself. I would be so very grateful if, through this fundraiser, the kindness and generosity Yvonne has displayed our entire lives could be paid back (and then some). She'll need funds to provide transportation to/from chemo appointments as well as living expenses such as utilities, mortgage, other monthly bills, and groceries.

Please help me help someone who never hesitates to help others. She deserves it!
