If you know Mariana, you know her heart.

She is the kind of person who shows up quietly and fully for the people she loves. The steady friend. The devoted mom. The partner who carries so much without ever making it about herself.

Over the past several months, Mariana has been navigating a breast cancer diagnosis. What that has meant in real life is ongoing appointments, difficult decisions, frequent travel for treatment, insurance hurdles, and the emotional weight that comes with all of it.

She is now beginning radiation therapy. Her doctors have also recommended a specialized genomic test that will help determine whether chemotherapy is truly necessary. This test comes with a significant out-of-pocket cost.

Like so many families facing cancer, the emotional strain is only part of the story. There have been medical expenses, coverage delays, travel costs, and logistical pressures that have added up over time.

Mariana is facing this with courage, determination, and so much positivity. But months of carrying this takes a toll.

This fundraiser is meant to help ease some of that financial strain so she can focus on healing and being present with her family.

If you feel moved to support, any amount makes a difference. And if giving isn’t possible, sharing this page is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for standing with Mariana.
