Hi, my name is Denise Burke and I am hoping to raise money for my friend, Paola, who is battling a very serious illness. Paola's fight has just begun and she has already incurred insurmountable medical expenses. She has a long journey ahead of her and will not be able to work for at least 6 months.

Any contribution you can make to help Paola on this unexpected journey would be greatly appreciated. Every penny counts.
