In 2025, my life changed forever when I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. I began chemotherapy, but after one session I had a severe reaction that nearly took my life and I was unable to continue safely. Soon after, another metastatic diagnosis changed everything again and our world was turned upside down.

I went from walking independently to needing a wheelchair and crutches. It has been an overwhelming and heartbreaking journey for me and my family.

Because chemotherapy is not a safe option for me, I have spent the past seven months pursuing alternative treatment, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, organic nutrition, and essential vitamins and minerals. We have seen encouraging signs of improvement and I deeply want to continue.

Unfortunately, these treatments are not covered by insurance. I am unable to work, and our household income has dropped from two incomes to one, making it impossible to sustain ongoing costs.

Funds raised will go directly toward my continued treatment, including oxygen therapy sessions, organic food, supplements, and a healing retreat.

I am not ready to give up. I have 3 boys, the youngest is 17 & my husband who all are holding onto hope with me. We are doing everything we can to fight for more time together.

Any support, no matter how small, would mean more than words can express. Thank you for standing with us on this journey. Your kindness and support gives us hope to keep fighting for life each day, and to keep believing in healing.

Hyperbaric Chamber Has Arrived 7 August 2026

Sometimes it’s hard to find the right words for a journey like this.

Yesterday was a really special day for us. The hyperbaric oxygen chamber arrived! I know this would not have been possible without the incredible generosity of so many people.

To every single person who donated and helped make this possible, thank you. You have given me the opportunity to access a treatment that I believe can become an important part of my healing journey.

For the next eight weeks, I’ll be doing daily 2 hour hyperbaric oxygen treatments, giving my body every opportunity to rest, repair and heal.

My days and nights are difficult, and there are times when this journey feels just too hard. But every day I’m reminded that I’m surrounded by so many people who love and care for me. Your prayers, messages, encouragement and generosity have carried me through more than you will ever know.

Once the eight weeks are complete, the plan is to attend a healing retreat and continue focusing on my healing and recovery. That is the next step we’re working towards, and your continued support will help make that possible.

For now, I’m taking it one day at a time and choosing to hold onto hope.

Thank you for believing in me, for standing beside me and for being part of this journey. This chapter would look very different without you. Every donation, every prayer and every word of encouragement is helping me take one more step forward.

With love,

Nalize ❤️
