HEAL CANCER x2!

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Jenikka and I am asking your gracious hearts in helping my dear sister, Lei, beat cancer...twice.

On September 2022, Lei was diagnosed with stage 2 cervical cancer.


She completed 6 sessions of chemo, 25 external radiation and 4 internal radiation (brachytherapy) on March 2023. After several follow-up appointments, her gut told her to see a different doctor. While her cervical cancer is no more, tests showed that the cancer has spread to some of her pelvic lymph nodes and right lower lung.


My sister lives in the Philippines. She is a single mother to two young daughters and works very hard earning $200/month to give them a good life. At age 32, she still has a lot to live for. She helped put me through college and is now watching over my son while I work here in the US. Lei has a big heart who will help others as long as she's able, and this time I would like to be the one to be there for her.



All funds received will be used towards her treatment expenses. She will need immunotherapy and chemotherapy every 3 weeks for a total of 6 sessions. Each session will cost roughly $3000 for the therapy alone. That does not include IV fluids, other medications, transportation, doctors and other hospital fees. Healthcare in the Philippines is very different. There are no payment plans offered and we have to have the money before we can schedule a session. Lei is also raising funds in the Philippines and applying for financial assistance from the government and has so far raised enough money for her first session.

Any amount you are able to donate will be greatly appreciated. We understand if a monetary donation isn't possible at this time, please feel free to share with friends and family.

Thank you,
Acosta Family
