Writers Unite to Fight Cancer have joined together to help one of our very own wage a very personal fight against cancer. Serena Freewomyn, WUFC’s web designer and social media helper, recently found out she has a brain tumor. She doesn’t have health insurance because she is self-employed. She needs to raise $40,000 to pay for a biopsy in order to determine what the proper course of treatment will be for her cancer.

Here’s how you can help Serena Kick Cancer’s Butt

Shop Online

If you love jewelry and crafts, visit Serena’s Etsy shop. The shop’s contents are updated daily, so if the shop is empty the first time you visit, please come back. We are also asking crafters to donate their own items that can be sold on Etsy. If you’d like to contribute crafts, please send an email to writersunitetofightcancer@gmail.com.
