our story
We Keep On Fighting
Jacob Gibbons was a teenager, when his mother, Kerri, was diagnosed with breast cancer and was not able to work a full-time job while facing her battle with the disease.
I experienced the impact firsthand of what our mission accomplishes, and I was able to witness it in my mother because it took a lot of burden off of her because she was out of work. It helped us be able to enjoy the parts of life that most of us take for granted.
The community’s support and fundraising efforts helped ease the financial burden that comes with cancer. As the child of a woman who received community assistance, Jacob witnessed the positive impact first-hand and was inspired to get involved. Eight years later he formed Kerri’s Fight, allowing him to pay forward the kindness and support that made all the difference for his own family.
Our Story
We grant money to these families because the good moments of a challenging time are worth relishing. The impact of attitude on recovery is sometimes more powerful than anything medicine can provide.
Our Mission
We support single mothers fighting breast cancer.
Our Vision
We strive to enable these women to generate lasting memories with their families and loved ones.
what we do
Join the Fight
Our mission at Kerri’s Fight is to support single mothers who are battling in a fight for their lives against breast cancer. In 2015, we held our first event sponsoring Kerri herself. She, and the many mothers like her, are the motivation and inspiration to continue the fight and Pay It Forward. Since then…

Who We've Helped
Kerri’s Fight came into my life at a time when I needed them most. After two years of battling cancer and breast reconstruction, it can quickly exhaust you and your family.
We often forget what having fun is like because you and your family are jolted into a constant cycle of doctor appointments and surgeries. Life as you once knew it no longer exists, and the financial strain becomes tall mountains that seem impossible to tackle. I was constantly concerned about the toll and the drain this was taking on my family and me.
When contacted by Jacob, I couldn’t believe it!! I was excited to learn about the organization and his mother’s journey. The organization blessed me with an incredibly generous gift of $1,000 right before Christmas! I was so amazed and overjoyed!! I was out of work for 12 weeks, and this generous donation was indeed a God-sent. I will never forget this organization and how it truly brought a ray of sunshine during a dark season in my life and my children who had to ride this breast cancer rollercoaster with me.
