My name is Angelica Lopez, and I never imagined I would be writing something like this. Recently, I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, and my life changed overnight. Since then, I’ve been focused on one thing: fighting this disease and getting back to a healthy life. Breast cancer treatment is physically, emotionally, and financially overwhelming. Between doctor visits, tests, surgery, chemotherapy/radiation, medications, and recovery time, the costs add up quickly. Unfortunately, I’m currently unable to work and medical bills and living expenses are becoming unmanageable. I’m reaching out for support because I can’t do this alone. Any donation—no matter how small—will go directly toward:

 • Medical treatments and procedures
 • Medications and follow-up care
 • Transportation to appointments from Bakersfield to City of Hope Hospital. 
 • Basic living expenses during treatment and recovery

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page or keeping me in your thoughts and prayers means more than you know. Your kindness, encouragement, and support give me strength on the hardest days. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story and for standing with me during this fight.

With gratitude,
Angelica Lopez
