Hello everyone,

I'd like to share with you a deeply personal journey that has defined my recent years—a journey of resilience, strength, and the unwavering support of my community.

In October 2023, I received the life-altering news: I had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Overnight, my world was turned upside down. Yet, with the love of my family and friends, I embarked on a journey toward healing and recovery.

The medical expenses associated with my treatment have been immense:

Before surgery:

Countless doctor's appointments and diagnostic tests, from mammograms to biopsies.

Preparatory procedures for surgery, including blood work and other necessary tests.

During surgery:

Surgeon's fees, anesthesiologist costs, and hospital expenses for the operation.

After surgery:

Prescription medications for pain management, antibiotics, and other necessary post-operative treatments.

Ongoing follow-up appointments and screenings to monitor my progress.

Beyond the surgical journey, I underwent months of challenging chemotherapy sessions, each one a testament to my determination to fight and survive. And now, as I navigate the path of recovery, I find myself in need of additional support.

I require vitamins and supplements to aid in my body's healing process, replenishing what was lost during chemotherapy and surgery.

That's why I'm reaching out to you, my cherished community, for assistance. Your contributions, no matter how big or small, will make a significant impact on my journey. With your support, I can focus on my health and well-being without the overwhelming burden of medical bills.

I've faced this challenge with courage and resilience, drawing strength from the love and encouragement of those around me. Now, as I continue on this path toward healing, I am grateful for any assistance you can offer.

Join me in this journey of hope and healing. Your generosity will not only help me but also serve as a beacon of light for others facing similar struggles.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, compassion, and unwavering support.

With deep gratitude,

Catalina Ariza
