A diagnosis of cancer is devastating. A 2nd is earth shattering.
After a routine yearly mammogram in November and several doctors appointments, Nami was diagnosed with another form of breast cancer- different from her first diagnosis back in 2017. Unfortunately, this diagnosis was found to be a more aggressive form. Due to the nature of this cancer, Nami will have a double mastectomy on December 6, 2023, then will undergo 6+ months of chemotherapy starting in February. Although this possible yet unexpected diagnosis has shaken her world it has also ignited a fierce determination to again conquer this formidable adversary.
Never one to show her cracks, Nami will again lace up her gloves to fight against breast cancer. She has done and continues to do so much for our community, we want to make sure that each of you has the opportunity to return the favor by showing her the support she needs but is reluctant to ask for.
As a small business owner and fiercely dedicated mother to Kunio, Nami does not have a corporate job that comes with benefits when sick. We are looking to you, her community, to help support Namiko as she has done for so many of us.
If you are able to contribute financial support, she is truly grateful. If not, please share the fundraiser, send positive vibes, and continue to support her as you can
We will continue to update this campaign and share other ways to support Nami throughout this journey. We truly appreciate each of you taking the time to help in whatever way you can. Every effort truly makes a difference and means the world to Nami and her family.
