At the beginning of June 2024, Mary Passamika was diagnosed with Stage 3 tonsil cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment at Valley Medical Center. Mary also underwent surgery in September 2024 to remove two tumors, one in her mouth and the other in her neck. She will continue treatment with the hope that the cancer will go into remission.

In addition to the cancer, Mary was involved in a T-Bone vehicle collision in October 2023. She experienced whip lash syndrome, a head laceration, a cut on her right eye, chest blunt trauma, and her ankles, wrists, and left side of her body were impacted. This caused her to quit her job and focus on recovery through physical therapy for 5 months. During recovery, she underwent multiple scans that led to the discovery of her cancer and led to her diagnosis in June 2024. Mary has been out of work for 12 months and not eligible for paid leave.

Mary lives in Washington, USA. She has two adult children, myself and my sister Ashley, we've taken leaves from work to help take care of our mom because she is one of the most thoughtful, determined, witty, and caring humans on the planet. She has an unparalleled positive outlook on life and has always tried her best to help those in need.

This is a time of great need for Mary and our family. This is the hardest year we have ever experienced, and our family has always had limited financial resources. We are humbly requesting financial support for Mary (our Mom), so she can focus on her health, her recovery, and her fight against cancer without the additional financial stress. Donations will go directly toward medical bills, travel to and from appointments, lost wages, rent, and other essentials.

If you have questions about how to support Mary and our family, or would rather like to donate using a different platform, please contact the organizer of this fundraiser (Mary's son, Jordan Crawford) or use the contact form below.
