Help Chelsea Fight Cancer
My name is Chelsea Ciapara, I’m 43 years old, a proud grandmother, and someone who has always worked hard to provide for my family.
In July 2024, my life changed when I was diagnosed with breast cancer after a mammogram and biopsy. I went through 28 rounds of chemotherapy from November to February, followed by surgery in March 2025. Just when I thought I was healing, in June I received another devastating diagnosis: melanoma.
Now, as of September 2025, I am undergoing my 4th biopsy for suspected stomach cancer. With a strong history of cancer in my family, my doctors are sending me to California this October and November for more testing and biopsies to find answers and determine the best treatment plan.
This journey has been overwhelming—physically, emotionally, and financially. Between medical bills, travel expenses, and time away from work, the weight is heavy. But I am determined to keep fighting for my health, my family, and my future.
Any donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward medical care, travel costs, and living expenses as I undergo treatment. Your kindness, prayers, and support mean more than words can express.
From the bottom of my heart—thank you for standing with me in this battle.
With love and gratitude,
Chelsea
