Hello Dear Ones,
I hope this finds you all well.

I am reaching out today to my friends, my community and aquaintances near and far, to share this message and to ask for your support in a moment when I need it most .

I’m currently facing a serious health challenge and the time has come to address It.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with a tumor (adenoma polimorfo) in the parotid salivary gland (located under my cheek bone) .
The nature of the tumor can only be determined upon extraction, therefore after several consultations and much consideration I have decided to undergo the highly invasive surgery to have it removed.
Due to the sensitive nature and location of the tumor, close to nerves that control the movement of the face,
I have decided to seek the best medical treatment possible, therefore will have the surgery in a private clinic in the north of Spain, as opposed to the public hospital here in ibiza.
This wasn’t an easy decision, but however costly it is, it’s also what feels like the best decision for the most favourable outcome.

This situation has put me in the position to ask for help as in this moment my health depends on it and so I step forward, trusting and openly asking for your collective financial support.

Your support will help to cover all costs, including the surgery, post surgery and further expenses that will be required . This including travel, accommodations located near the clinic before and after the day of surgery and recovery time, that according to the doctors may take between 1 to 6 months, depending on the outcome.

As I don't know when I will be able to return to work or daily life to support myself, your donations will also help to offer peace of mind throughout the healing and recovery phase.

And despite the discomfort that this whole situation creates, I can already see how much it is teaching me and expanding my capacity to trust, in Life, in the people that are around me and Love me, and in myself . Showing me how some challenges are not meant to be faced alone and how very blessed I am to have many friends like you who are there for me.
This knowing alone makes me feel so rich, grateful and supported while I go through this very humbling journey.

If you can and feel called to help, your donations are welcome and will be deeply appreciated.

The goal is to raise 30.000 euros to cover all the costs from surgery and all phases in between and thereafter.

The surgery is scheduled on the 5th of November,
I ask you to please keep me in your Hearts and Prayers on that day and the following weeks and to send a lot of positive energy and healing vibrations my way

So far I do not feel like being exposed on social media unless it is really necessary. Therefore I am also asking you to please use discretion, not to post anything about this on Facebook, Instagram or any similar platforms.

However please do feel free to forward this as a private message with the gofundme link to any friends or family that you think may be able and happy to support.

Thank you for reading, and for being part of my life in a way that I can reach out to you, feeling safe and held in this deeply personal moment .

Sending my blessing and Love to You and Your families .
With deep gratitude and trust in my Heart. Virginia
