"My name is Traci Gibson. At the age of 31, I was diagnosed with stage 3b breast cancer. As a wife and mother of 3 boys, I had no idea of the changes I would go through in the years to come. At first, the diagnosis brought feelings of devastation and grief, pure sorrow. Soon after came the anger and defiance that I was in no way going to succumb to this disease. My children needed me too much. As time went on, I developed a sense of gratitude, appreciation and overwhelming love, as my family, friends, and community came together to support my husband and I while I went through countless different cycles of chemotherapy and radiation. I was so blessed to have people coming and going, helping us with day care, meals, bills, whatever I needed, and even things I didn’t even know I needed! My family, friends and community changed our lives forever.I was so blessed to have people coming and going, helping us with day care, meals, bills, whatever I needed, and even things I didn’t even know I needed! My family, friends and community changed our lives forever. It was from all this lvl and support that I developed a "hope". A "hope" to help others. To show my children what others have shown me. Traci’s Hope is a not-for-profit fund I set up to help Men and Women who are going through breast cancer in our area. We pay for many different services that insurance companies don’t pay for. Sometimes it is gas cards, or day care. Sometimes it is house cleaning, or mortgage payments. While fighting this disease, the needs could be endless, and nobody should have to do it alone. Traci’s Hope is here to make sure everyone gets the support I was so blessed with. In the end my true "hope" would be a cure for all cancers, With this there is no need for Traci's Hope and we could have a sense of peace. Thank you for your support of Traci's Hope and making it possible for me to help others in need God Bless and Love Traci Gibson"
