Support Ericka's Battle Against Breast Cancer

Friends,

It's hard to believe I'm writing this, but my dear friend Ericka – the one who always has a smile on her face and a warm hug ready – was recently diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. She's only 45.

Those of you who know Ericka know she's a force of nature. A loving wife, devoted mother, and the most incredible "Maemae" to her grandkids. She lights up every room she walks into and has this amazing ability to make everyone around her feel loved and supported. Now, she's facing a challenge unlike any other, and she needs our help.

This diagnosis has turned her world upside down. She's navigating a whirlwind of appointments, treatments, and surgeries, all while trying to stay strong for her family. And while her spirit is incredible, the financial burden of this journey is overwhelming. Medical bills are piling up, travel costs are adding up, and time off work is a necessity, not a luxury.

I know Ericka would never ask for help herself, which is why I'm reaching out to you. Let's rally around her and make sure she can focus on healing without the added stress of financial worries. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a tangible difference in her fight. It will help cover medical expenses, ease the burden of travel costs, and provide some breathing room for her family during this incredibly difficult time.

Even if you're not in a position to donate, please share this page. Spreading the word is just as valuable. Every bit of support, every message of love, and every prayer sent her way will make a difference.

Let's show Ericka the incredible power of community and help her beat this. With our collective support, I know she can overcome this and get back to being the amazing woman we all cherish.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Nicole
