In Support of Deana's Cancer Journey

In June 2024, I was diagnosed with a recurrence. This time Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer — a diagnosis that changed everything. As of August 23, 2025 the cancer has spread to my skull lining (leptomeningeal disease) — one of the most complex and aggressive forms of metastatic cancer.
This journey may be difficult, but I am not giving up. I am choosing to live. And I’m choosing to navigate this powerful chapter of my life — one that asks everything of me— spiritually, medically, emotionally, and holistically.
Why I’m Asking for Help
I am currently undergoing treatment with advanced medications like Enhertu and hormone therapy, along with a carefully researched protocol of repurposed medicines and supplements that have shown promise in patients like me. Not working is making it very hard to pay regular household bills as well as medical.
These treatments are not fully covered by insurance, and the costs are immense — including:
Out-of-pocket prescription and integrative therapies
- Supplements and medications
- Specialized scans and monitoring
- Healing therapies that help keep my immune system up and side effects down
- Travel to clinics or trials if needed
- Basic living expenses while I focus on healing
What Your Support Will Do
Your donation will give me more than just money — it will give me time, comfort, and the power to keep going. It will help me:
-
Extend and improve the quality of my life - Access healing tools beyond what conventional systems offer
- Focus on love, prayer, and purpose — not just survival]
- Reduce the stress of choosing between wellness and cost
Every dollar you contribute is part of my healing team. Truly.

Donate what you can — every single amount matters. Some aren’t comfortable with giving through a website. We have other means to donate: zelle, Venmo, or mail a check. Just ask and we will give you whatever information needed. - Share this fundraiser with your community, church, or workplace
- Send healing prayers, light, and encouragement — I believe in their power
- Offer resources or contacts who may help with integrative care
With All My Heart… Thank You
