Amber Martinez is my best friend and I want to help ease the stress of her family, during the hardest part of their lives. She has 2 amazing young adult children (21 and just turned 18). Her youngest is in her senior year of High School.

Amber was diagnosed with stage 2B cancer in December of 2021. After a round of radiation and chemo, they found the cancer had spread in June of 2022. This cancer was more aggressive, it had moved into her lungs, moving her cancer into the stage 4 category.

After some additional testing and 10+ hours per day of chemo, we had the first sign of overcoming this horrible disease. She was told she was in remission in October of 2022.

Unfortunately, at 6 months remission scan (April 2023), the lung cancer was back and it had again spread. The next 6 months was filled with set back after set back.

The funds raised here will be used to cover some medical costs. The rest will be used to assist her and her daughter in covering living costs, while she finishes her senior year of High school.
