My best friend Alveta has always been there for me, through every ups and down life has thrown our way. She's the kind of person who lights up a room, who makes you feel like you matter, and who would do anything for the people she loves. So when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, my heart broke for her.

Right now, Alveta is preparing for surgery, and while she's facing this with incredible strength and courage, the reality is that she'll need to take 6-8 weeks off work to recover. That's a long time to be away from her paycheck, and I know the financial stress is weighing on her during an already difficult time.

I wanted to do something to help ease that burden. Medical costs are one thing, but losing income while you're healing is another challenge altogether. Alveta shouldn't have to worry about how she's going to pay her bills while she's focused on getting better.

That's why I'm raising money to help support her during her recovery. Whether it's helping with everyday expenses or giving her one less thing to stress about while she heals, your donation will make a real difference for someone who deserves all the love and support we can give her.

Thank you for standing with Alveta during this fight. Your generosity means everything.
