Fighting for Maricela

Maricela is the youngest of our four children who loves nature and animals having 3 dogs and 3 cats. At the age of four she was diagnosed with Gangilonueroblastoma and after chemotherapy and several  surgeries she was left with many scars and severe  scoliosis and lives with constant back pain.

 Mari as we call her who is now 31 was  diagnosed in July 2020 with breast cancer which has left her with many questions, however she remains optimistic as she fights this for the second time in her life.

She has endured 5 months of grueling sickness with about a week of respite between treatments and completed them on December 3rd 2020. Now she is getting ready for a bilateral mastectomy on January 18 2021.

While she is a west coast native she currently resides in Marion NC with her husband and 3000 miles from her closes relative in California although she now has a new family and close friends there. She is not one to ask and those that know her will attest that she is a loving and giving person which when you know her will have a friend for life. Family and friends are her life and she adores her nephews and nieces having no children of her own.

With her so far away and a constant concern of her well being I her mother am asking for prayers and financial support for any amount you can give as this would help Mari with Medical deductibles co-pays and out  pocket expenses and for travel from Marion to Asheville North Carolina for her continued biological treatments every three weeks for the next year . Thank you, love Karen
