Betsy’s Kids Need You— Cancer took her life

Hi, my name is Priscila Talley, and I am urgently raising funds for my sister, Betsy Herrera, who is fighting an aggressive, life-threatening cancer at only 34 years old.

She is a loving mother of four young children, ages 4, 9, 14, and a 7-month-old baby, who need her more than ever. She was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive type of cancerous tumor, Soft Tissue Sarcoma Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (MPNST), that developed in her right glute muscle, pressing on critical nerves and causing constant, unbearable pain.

Despite aggressive treatment, the cancer progressed and led to the amputation of her leg in an effort to save her life. Heartbreakingly, after the amputation, the tumor came back, and it is once again pressing on nerves and causing incredible, daily pain. Doctors have also confirmed metastasis in her lungs, making her condition even more serious and complex.

She now urgently needs ongoing cancer treatments, advanced pain-management medications, and specialized medical care just to endure each day and continue fighting.

Because of how critical her condition is, our mother had to stop working to become her full-time caregiver and to help care for her children—especially her newborn baby. With the loss of income and rapidly increasing medical costs, our family is facing an overwhelming and unsustainable financial crisis.

We urgently need help to cover:
• Life-saving cancer treatments and medications
• Intensive pain management and supportive therapies
• Frequent medical appointments, travel, and follow-up care
• Basic living expenses while she and our mother cannot work
• Essential support and stability for her four children

Every moment matters. Every donation—no matter the amount—helps relieve the burden and gives her the chance to keep fighting for her life and for her children. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser, as spreading the word is just as important.

From the depths of our hearts, thank you for your compassion, prayers, and support during this incredibly painful and urgent time.
