Torrance’s story is sparking a heated conversation about the healthcare system after reports surfaced that her insurance company allegedly cut her coverage because she couldn’t keep up with $5,000 monthly payments. What started as an early-stage, treatable diagnosis reportedly exploded into deadly Stage 4 cancer once she was forced off her life-saving chemotherapy.

Despite the physical toll and unbearable pain, Torrance’s final mission was to make sure her young son had one last Christmas with his mother. She managed to hold on just long enough to see the holiday through, smiling for her baby boy before slipping away just days later. While she leaves behind a loving family, the circumstances of her death have many calling out a system that prioritizes corporate profits over human lives.

A GoFundMe was originally set up by her sister, Ashley Mchie, to help cover the costs of chemotherapy, medication, and transportation to appointments that the insurance company wouldn’t cover. Now that Torrance has passed, those funds can go toward supporting her son as he navigates life without his mother.

The campaign currently has a goal of $40,000, and thanks to the overwhelming support of the community, it has already reached over $35,000.
