What Is The Slay Society?

For those who aren’t familiar with me, my quick story is this: in 2019 BOTH of my parents were diagnosed with Glioblastomas, 14 days apart. Glioblastoma is a grade 4, advanced form of brain cancer. It is terminal and it’s prognosis with aggressive treatment is only one year. Between my 2 parents, we have endured 7 operations, 6 weeks of tandem radiation, months of chemo, over 6 straight months of hospital life and more appointments than I care to count.

Sadly, my dad passed away on April 11, 2020 and my mom passed away on October 23, 2020, in the midst of a pandemic.

​Our journey started a year ago when an entire army of angels banded around us to help carry us through this in way of hugs, gift cards, meals, babysitting and more. We are blessed beyond words to have so much support. I wanted to give that back. I saw an opportunity to pay that forward and decided to start a foundation that would eventually grow into something larger with ongoing fundraising initiatives to support other families and lighten their financial burdens. This disease doesn’t give you much time. And much of that time has very little quality of life. No one should have to go through this and struggle with the choice of being able to afford another hospital visit due to the cost of parking, or having to continue working to keep food on the table and juggling caregiving simultaneously.

SLAY Society Inc. has been a registered charity since February 2022 and we can provide tax receipts! All hours being put in are coming from me personally and voluntarily as I continue to be a wife, a mom to 3 kids, and care for my parents. Any help I am being offered outside of my own efforts is all volunteer. This means that all proceeds from our events are currently going directly to the families.
 ​The SLAY Society will support different families throughout the year with different fundraising efforts. We have just launched the website (October 2020) but will always be updating and adding new info! This is where resources, links for research, and caregiver support will also be offered. Many more exciting things are in the works!!!
We thank you so much for being a part of this from the very beginning and helping me to grow this foundation into something that can support many families at once.
