Hi friends! I’m setting up this fundraiser to help our girl, Naseem, as she makes her way through the absolute circus that is our medical system. She’s been diagnosed with an aggressive Stage 2 breast cancer, and now faces surgery, chemo, radiation—and all the unexpected expenses that come with it. Thankfully, the prognosis is good, but the road ahead won’t be easy. It’s going to be a slog and it is up to US to lift her up so she can endure it.
We all know Naseem would give you the literal shirt off her back—probably with a home‑baked treat on the side. She’s planned thoughtful meals tailored to our preferences and dietary restrictions, swooped in to watch our kids, and shown up as our personal guardian angel time and again—these are just my own personal examples of her selfless, caring personality!!! But, she's independent to a fault—I can count on one hand the times she’s allowed me to help her in even the smallest way. She’s always there for everyone and it’s finally our time to be there for her!!!
First stop on this roller‑coaster: fertility preservation—a time-sensitive, expensive procedure, even with insurance. While none of us knows what the future holds, no one should be shut out of parenthood because of a cancer diagnosis and a financial barrier. IMO, this is not a decision someone should be forced to make while going through the biggest scare of their lives. I’d like to remove this one financial burden so this can be one tiny item off of her ever-growing list of worries, granting her the simple luxury of choice when this is all over.
Beyond that, treatment will pull Naseem away from her usual routine—between appointments, medical expenses, and everyday life, it’s a lot to juggle solo. She’s fiercely independent and slow to ask for help, so I volunteered to do this for her. Let’s give her the freedom to book her own Ubers, order groceries, sort dog care, and just breathe, without having to run the numbers in her head, and let her focus on getting better. I know many of us will want to help in any way we can, and I'm sure in the future, we can figure out exactly what Naseem needs, set up meal trains, coordinate rides to appointments, etc. But we all know how tricky scheduling can be, so for now, I think monetary donations would be so very appreciated. We can give Naseem the independence to coordinate her needs as she sees fit without having to worry about coordinating all of us.
This isn’t a sprint, it won’t end when her treatments wrap up. Your ongoing support along the way, whether it's a quick text, voice note or a goofy meme, will no doubt lift her spirits and remind her we're all behind her.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for whatever you can give: a donation, a share, a prayer, a kind word (or many)! Let’s keep our fiercely independent queen living the life she deserves, even in the middle of this chaos. ❤️
