Hi, my name is Steven, and I’m writing on behalf of, Shanty, the love of my life and the most incredible mom to our two children, Mila (3) and Leonzo (1).

This year our world changed forever. Shanty was diagnosed with breast cancer. Hearing those words while holding our youngest was devastating… it’s a fear I can’t fully put into words.

Shanty is strong, loving, and the heart of our family. She gives so much of herself every day, and now it’s time we surround her with the same love and care

Why We’re Asking for Help

Shanty has chosen a cryoablation procedure — a cutting-edge treatment that freezes and destroys cancer cells. This minimally invasive approach gives her the best chance to preserve her breast and avoid the harsh side effects of surgery, chemo, or radiation.

Unfortunately, insurance will not cover the procedure, along with essential integrative oncology support - (nutrition, ongoing lab work, targeted IV therapies).

How Your Support Will Help

Your donations will go directly toward:

• Cryoablation procedure and follow-up care

• Integrative oncology support, including labs and therapies to strengthen her body

• Post-procedure imaging to track healing

• Supplements and IV therapies that are critical for recovery but not covered by insurance

Every contribution, no matter the size, will bring us one step closer to giving Shanty the best chance at beating this disease and being there for our children.

Why It Matters

Shanty isn’t just fighting cancer — she’s fighting to watch Mila and Leonzo grow up, to celebrate birthdays, graduations, first loves, and all the milestones in life. I want to spend my life with her, and we dream of her being healthy and strong by my side.
