Charity Mackenzie is my best friend of over a decade. She is a strong, selfless 46-year-old single mom who was recently diagnosed with DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma In Situ) — an early form of breast cancer. To protect her long-term health and chance of developing invasive cancer, she is preparing to undergo a double mastectomy on July 7, 2025 with a reconstruction surgery a couple months later.
Through it all, she remains the devoted mom of Faith, her 21-year-old daughter with autism who depends on her daily, and AJ, her 18-year-old son who just graduated high school.
Charity is a hardworking and generous woman — always giving to others, even when she has little herself. But now, she’s the one who needs support.
She recently lost the child support that had helped her cover basic expenses, and with her upcoming surgery, she will be unable to work or drive for an extended time. The financial burden will be overwhelming.
This fundraiser will help cover:
• Temporary loss of income for several months
• Medical testing, 2 surgeries with hospital stays, and recovery expenses
• Travel and transportation for surgery and recovery
• Groceries, bills, and utilities
• Meals
• Post-surgical care and comfort items
Let’s rally around Charity as she walks this road to healing. Every donation, prayer, and share makes a real difference! Thank you for helping this beautiful family in their time of need. ❤️
With love and gratitude,
Holly Blinson and friends/family of Charity
