In January, Eggert told PEOPLE she had been diagnosed with stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer in December 2023.
"This journey's been rough for me. This hasn't been a breezy sale through life,” she said at the time. “I always read inspirational quotes and corny stuff, but it gets me through.”
“I absolutely 100% want to start a non-profit for other single parents such as myself, who don't have any family, don't have anybody to turn to,” she told PEOPLE in January. “They take on all this by themselves because they love their kids so much, but when something happens to them, then what?”
“I've gotten such an outpouring of love and it makes you feel so good. It changes your whole day and other people just don't have that,” she added. “So I really want to figure out a way to give back to other parents that are in my situation that aren't as fortunate.”
