Hi friends!
A sweet friend and fellow childrenโs boutique owner recently received some devastating news that no one ever wants to hear! ๐ฅ
On April 17th, Natalie Clark Barnes, owner of Playtime Couture, was diagnosed with Stage 2 Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Because of the diagnosis, her care team developed an aggressive treatment plan, and she started weekly chemotherapy on 5/30. She will continue this for 12 weeks, and then go to every 3 weeks for 4 cycles. After chemotherapy, she will undergo surgery, but the extensiveness will be dependent upon how her cancer responds to the chemotherapy.
Natalie has been through so much over the past few months! She is one of the kindest people I know- always willing to help myself and others whenever possible, and now she needs our help!
We are hosting a ๐ง in hopes of helping to ease the financial burden that comes along with her diagnosis, so she can focus on getting well and spending as much time with her family as possible!
If you would find it in your heart to give, I know that Natalie would be so grateful for your support! And of course, your prayers are greatly appreciated as well! ๐๐ปโค๏ธ
Your $10 donation enters you into a ๐ง to win some awesome prizes from some amazing small boutiques- and 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Natalie! Feel free to grab a spot (or more if youโd like)! There will be one winner per prize!
