HELLO MY NAME IS MARINA.  I AM NAOMI'S AUNT. I AM TRYING TO HELP MY NIECE & SISTER, AUTUMN MARTINEZ WITH FINDING A WAY TO PAY FOR MEDICAL BILLS, LIVING EXPENSES & FOR AUTUMN TO STAY IN CALIFORNIA WITH HER DAUGHTER DURING TREATMENT. THESE FUNDS WOULD ALSO COVER TRAVEL EXPENSES TO ANYWHERE THEY WOULD NEED TO GO FOR THIS CANCER. MY NIECE NAOMI ISN’T DOING TO WELL. HER LYMPHATIC SYSTEM IS NOT DRAINING CORRECTLY. BECAUSE OF THIS SHE IS EXPERIENCING INFLAMMATION IN HER HEAD, NECK, CHEST & ARMS. THIS WOULD BE CAUSED BY ABNORMAL MASSES / TUMORS FOUND IN HER CHEST CAVITY AND NECK. DOCTORS HAVE FOUND  THAT THESE ABNORMAL MASSES/TUMORS ARE SITTING ON MAJOR VEINS & ARTERIES, CAUSING SLOW BLOOD FLOW THROUGH HER UPPER BODY. ON TOP OF THE MEDICAL BILLS, MY NIECE’S CAR HAS RECENTLY DIED. AS SHE IS SAVING FOR A NEW VEHICLE, SHE IS ALSO BEING MET WITH MAJOR MEDICAL BILLS, DESPITE HAVING INSURANCE.  SHE WILL NOT BE WORKING ANY MORE DUE TO BEING EXTREMELY HIGH RISK DURING THE PANDEMIC. DOCTORS BELIEVE THIS IS SOME FORM OF LYMPHOMA BUT WOULD NEED MORE TESTING TO CONFIRM AS THE FIRST BIOPSY HAS FAILED TO DELIVER CONCLUSIVE RESULTS. DOCTORS BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO CANCER KILLING THE CELLS & LIVE TISSUE IN HER LYMPH NODES. AFTER COUNTLESS HOSPITALS STAYS, SCANS, LABS & TESTING THEY ARE NOT EVEN SURE YET WHAT TYPE OF CANCER THIS IS. THEY ARE STILL DOING ALL THE TESTING NECESSARY BUT HER SYMPTOMS SEEMS TO BE WORSENING MORE QUICKLY THAN EXPECTED.  NAOMI HAS BEEN MISDIAGNOSED SINCE AUGUST OF 2019, AS THIS IS WHEN SHE FIRST STARTED NOTICING SYMPTOMS IN HER BODY. WE DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO PAY FOR ALL OF THIS.. SO I DECIDED I NEED TO HELP SOMEHOW. I WANT SEE HOW MANY HEARTS AUTUMN AND NAOMI HAVE TOUCHED THROUGH OUT THEIR LIVES AND SEE IF ANYONE AT ALL CAN HELP THEM THROUGH THIS HARD AND HORRIBLE TIME. THANK YOU FOR READING & DONATING IF YOU CAN. OUR FAMILY IS EXTREMELY APPRECIATIVE OF YOUR HELP
