Hello everyone!

I can’t even begin to tell you what your cards, flowers, and messages have meant to Preston, Wade, and I. It’s so obvious how much our mom meant to so many people and that knowledge has helped us get through this incredibly painful time. We miss her so much. The loss is incomprehensible most days. We’re doing ok, but it’s hard.

I wanted to share my Facebook fundraiser benefiting The Foundation For Women’s Cancer. I’m hosting the fundraiser in honor of my mom and as a celebration of my upcoming birthday on the 19th. So far, through Facebook donations, donations through Instagram, and donations directly to the foundation, friends and family have raised more than $1700 since the fundraiser went up on Wednesday afternoon! I am truly blown away by the generosity!

If you would like to donate, you can do so via the Facebook fundraiser here: https://www.facebook.com/donate/716329455763216/?fundraiser_source=external_url or you can donate directly to the foundation and in honor of my momma at https://www.foundationforwomenscancer.org/support-us/donate/

If you do donate directly to the foundation and would like to share with me so I can include it in the totals, you can email me at estelford@gmail.com. Or you can be completely anonymous. Facebook shares with me automatically unless you choose to remain anonymous.

My goal is to raise $2,000 by my birthday on August 19th. That would be the best gift imaginable! This birthday will be a rough one. I’ve never celebrated without my mom, but I feel better knowing we’re raising funds to raise awareness about gynocological cancer. It’s my mission in life to help women feel comfortable with their bodies and to know the warning signs of vulvar and other gyno cancers.

There is ABSOLUTELY zero pressure to donate. I just wanted to share the resources in case you were interested.

Thank you so much for reading.

Sending you love,

Elyse
