In February 2023, Stephanie noticed a lump in her right breast. With a family history of cancer on her father’s side, Stephanie went to the doctor and pushed for a mammogram and biopsy. A few days later, at the age of 36, Stephanie was diagnosed with stage 1B, triple positive invasive ductal carcinoma. From there, things happened so quickly but Stephanie has exhibited such
strength in recent years, and she believes that a positive mindset can make all the difference.

Stephanie and her husband share household responsibilities but things became increasingly difficult during treatment. Stephanie’s wish was for a new vacuum and the opportunity to refresh the décor in their living room to help create and maintain a space in their home where both she and her husband can relax. The team at FAB-U-WISH was honored to organize a special shopping experience at some of Stephanie’s favorite home décor retailers.

“From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank Guiliana and FAB-U-WISH for picking me to have my wish granted. I will be forever grateful and am so glad there are organizations like yours, that want to bring some joy to breast cancer patients. I hope that our stories inspire other women to get checked, but also to apply for their own wish to granted as well. Thank you so much for making my wish a special day, for my husband and I to enjoy together.”
