Fund for the beautiful twins Emmy and Isabelle

Donation protected
We are reaching out to support two beautiful twin girls who have recently suffered an unimaginable loss—their mother, who fought a brave battle against cancer, has passed away aged 40. Tragically, their father also passed away just under two years ago, leaving these young girls without their primary caregivers at a time when they need love and stability the most. The emotional and financial strain on them is overwhelming, and they need help to navigate this incredibly difficult chapter. Any donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward providing them with the care, support, and resources they need to heal and build a future full of hope as they move into living with other family. Please consider donating to help these girls find some peace and security during this heartbreaking time. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Please read Hannah’s story below -
Hannah was a devoted single mother to two beautiful twin girls, she had built her life around them, creating a home filled with love and laughter. She was the most amazing mom working tirelessly to make sure they had everything they needed and more. She had built up her own cleaning business, a dream she had nurtured with determination.

But on January 5th, 2024, the world as Hannah knew it was forever changed. She received a diagnosis after finding a lump under her arm, it was a cruel and unexpected blow: triple-negative breast cancer, Stage 3, Grade 3, with lymph node involvement. The news shattered her and all the family leaving her feeling lost, terrified, and uncertain of what the future held.

As if the diagnosis wasn’t enough, Hannah knew she would have to make even harder decisions. She had worked so hard to build her business, but now, with the weight of her diagnosis, she knew she couldn’t continue. She had to let go of her cleaning business—her pride and joy—so that she could focus all her energy on fighting this beast.

By the end of January, chemotherapy began. Six long months of treatment. She was thrown into chemically induced menopause, a side effect that compounded the physical toll chemotherapy was already taking.

Hannah had always been the picture of health. Her beautiful blonde hair was one of her many proud features, and she couldn’t bear the thought of losing it—especially in front of her girls. They had already lost their father, and she knew they didn’t need to face any more uncertainty. So, she wore the cold cap. The freezing, unbearable cold of the cap pressed against her scalp for hours during each treatment. The pain was excruciating, but she did it every time, For her girls, she would endure anything.

She couldn’t bring herself to tell her twin daughters that she had cancer. She feared the pain it would cause them, especially so soon after their father’s passing. So, with incredible strength, she led a double life. She fought the disease in secret, wearing a wig from February onwards to mask the hair loss. She fought fiercely, and her daughters never saw the toll the chemotherapy was taking on her body.

In August 2024, after completing 16 rounds of chemotherapy, Hannah underwent a mastectomy with full lymph node removal. It was a tough surgery, and the waiting period for the results was filled with anxiety. But on September 12th, 2024, the long-awaited news came: the cancer had been removed, and it was "in the lab." It was the news everyone had been praying for—she was in the clear. For the first time in months, we felt happiness and hope.

She was finally able to tell her daughters the truth: she had cancer, but she had beaten it. It was a moment of triumph that Hannah had dreamed of, and it gave her the strength to continue the fight.

With radiation therapy and reconstructive surgery on the horizon, Hannah thought she could see the light at the end of the tunnel. But life, as it often does, had other plans. In October 2024, just as her radiation treatments were set to begin, she received the devastating news that the cancer had returned. This time, it was Stage 4, and it had spread to her bones.

The news was a crushing blow but Hannah was not one to give up easily. She chose to fight with everything she had left. She was placed on a new treatment plan, but the cancer progressed quickly.

By December 2024, Hannah was admitted to the hospital with fluid on her lungs and pneumonia. She fought hard, and with the love and support of her family, she managed to return home just before Christmas. She spent those precious moments surrounded by her daughters, trying to create as many happy memories as possible. But her fight was far from over.

Not long after Christmas, Hannah was back in the hospital. Her condition worsened, with complications including pneumonia, the HMPV virus, and, ultimately, sepsis. Her family never left her side, holding on to hope even as the situation got worse.

On January 14th, 2025, after an incredibly brave battle, Hannah passed away surrounded by her closest family and her beautiful girls. The pain of losing her was indescribable, but those who loved her found solace in knowing that her legacy would live on in her daughters, the two precious girls she had fought so hard to protect.

Hannah may have lost her battle with cancer, but her spirit, her love, and her strength will never be forgotten. She was the funniest most loved person who touched the lives of everyone she met and a mother who gave everything for her children, and in that, she left behind a legacy that will last for generations to come.
