Dania's medical support & impending funeral costs

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Vanesa and I'm raising funds for my sister Dania. She needs our help with raising funds for her impending funeral expenses, medical bills/supplies, and to help Dallas with the boys after she is gone.

A little bit about Dania... She has the biggest heart. She has always lived her life the way she wanted and has accomplished so much in such a short amount of time. She has a heart of service and loves to help others. She is married to her fantastic husband Dallas and has two beautiful boys, Ashton and Luke. She graduated from nursing school six years ago and achieved her dream of becoming a Registered Nurse and working in the ER. Shortly after graduating, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer at the age of 30. Throughout her fight, she finished her bachelor's degree and continued to work up until last week when her cancer progressed and spread to her brain. This is causing her to have seizures, so she is currently in the hospital. We are taking it one day at a time.

This summer she has been in the hospital four different times and each time her cancer was spreading and progressing. It took over more of her liver and finally spread to her brain. She has been on various chemos and none have stopped the cancer from spreading. Dallas and my mom have spent their time really taking care of Dania during all of this. With each hospital visit, Dania has been able to recuperate and get better enough to go home. This time she will need to be out of work longer as we wait and see what happens.

Every step of her fight she has fought with the best attitude. She attended soccer games, school ceremonies, field trips, and family functions. She even worked many overtime hours to help Dallas finish his bachelor's degree. She has done so much to prepare her family for what might happen if her cancer won. Dania will be 36 in October and was really hoping to stay alive long enough to see her oldest (Ashton, 15) graduate high school. Doctors have informed us that time is very near and our family needs help. Our family has rallied together in the best way and we are helping each other navigate these new waters.

Dania and Dallas don't have enough to get through all of the financial expenses. We are in the process of bringing her home and need a lot of supplies to keep her comfortable. My mom, Dallas, and the family will be helping out with Dania's care 24 hours a day 7 days a week. She wants to be home and around her family so we are complying with her wishes. Many people have reached out about supporting her financially and this platform is the easiest way to keep track of it all and get it to one location which will be straight to Dallas and Dania.

We are all heartbroken and appreciate any gift you can give and all the prayers too.
