Hello, my name is Joann Marino. In August 2024, I was unexpectedly diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. This diagnosis came as a shock, and I’m now navigating the complexities of my condition. Stage four lung cancer means that the disease has advanced to a point where it has spread beyond the lungs to other parts of the body.

I'm in the process of understanding my treatment options, managing symptoms, and finding the support I need. This situation has brought about a lot of uncertainty, and I’m seeking ways to cope with the emotional and physical challenges that come with it.

As I embark on this challenging journey, I’m undergoing chemotherapy to fight this disease. Unfortunately, the costs associated with treatment and related medical expenses are overwhelming. To help cover these costs, I’m humbly asking for your support.

Any contribution you can make will go directly towards my chemotherapy and related expenses, easing the financial burden during this time of need. Your generosity will not only help me focus on my treatment and recovery but also provide immense emotional support.
