Hi, my name is Alex Leon, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for help for someone very dear to me, my aunt, Marlene Leon. She lives in Ecuador and is currently battling breast cancer.

Marlene is a single mother of three beautiful daughters, and they are her whole world. She has always been a strong, loving, and selfless woman doing everything she can to raise her girls with dignity and love, even in difficult circumstances. But now, she’s facing the fight of her life, and she needs our help.

Cancer is hard enough. But in Ecuador, access to quality cancer treatment is limited and very expensive. Chemotherapy, medications, transportation to treatment centers, and basic support during recovery are taking a toll on her physically, emotionally, and financially. As a single mom, she doesn’t have a partner to lean on, and her daughters are still young.

Our family is doing everything we can to support her, but the costs are overwhelming. That’s why I’ve created this GoFundMe, to help raise funds for her treatment and give her a real chance at recovery. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly to helping Marlene get the care she needs and allow her to focus on healing, not on how she’s going to afford her next hospital visit.

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this campaign. And if you’re someone who believes in prayer or positive energy, please send some her way.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for giving my aunt and her daughters a little hope in the middle of this storm.
