As breast cancer awareness month continues, we bring you a family here in the Hub City that needs your help.  Jamica Freeman was a 27-year old, single mother of four.  Sadly, Jamica died Monday after a four-year battle with breast cancer.  However, she has not yet been laid to rest because her family can't afford a funeral.  Volunteers put together a bake sale earlier today to try and help Jamica's family and children.  Close friend Marissa Chadis said seeing someone so young battle breast cancer has been a huge wake up call.

"It just makes me think that all young women shouldn't think that we should postpone our annuals or postpone our doctor's appointments because you never know, you don't know."

If you'd like to donate, every little bit helps.  Stop by any City Bank and give to the Jamica Freeman fund.
