I am Helana Espinoza, 19 years old. I’m living with childhood cancer called cholangiocarcinoma that now exists in my abdomen as several tumors coming from my liver, and some in my lymph nodes. I've been fighting this cancer for almost 2 years now and after having major surgery we had hope and prayed it wouldn’t come back, but unfortunately it did.

I travel back and forth to Cleveland from my home, which is four hours away. As well as Maryland which is 7 hours from my home. I love spending time with my family and friends and love to travel. But unfortunately, since my family and I must travel back and forth nearly every week and stay for multiple days, it becomes very costly. We now must prepare for another long stay in Maryland for me to receive a harsh chemo called TIL therapy, bringing even more expenses and stress to my family. This results in us having to stay up to another three weeks in Maryland causing me not being able to spend as much time with my family and friends as I'd like.

We are raising funds for me and my family to be much more comfortable traveling back and forth, as well as allowing my family to take me and my loved ones to places I would really enjoy, along with other important needs that might come up along the way. We thank you for your generosity and kindness!
