Help Amanda's Daughter Anyela Fight Brain Cancer

Donation protected
Amanda needs our support more than ever as her oldest daughter Anyela, who lives in Colombia has been diagnosed with brain cancer. Due to this Amanda wants to temporarily move back to Colombia to care for Anyela and her youngest son Mateo. The funds collected here will be used to cover living expenses for Amanda and Anyela, as both will be out of work as they fight this awful cancer and Anyela undergoes treatment. Amanda will try to work around Anyela's and Mateo's care. Colombian pesos also don't go as far as American dollars do.

Anyela fought and beat kidney cancer 14 years ago, where she was left with one kidney. Unfortunately, at the end of March, Anyela started having numbing and pain in her right arm and leg. After 3 weeks of hospitalization, infections and scans they found 3 tumors in her head. She had brain surgery on April 15th where one of the 3 tumors was removed. The biopsy then confirmed that the tumors were malignant. Two days later they found blood clots in her leg and she was hospitalized once more. Hanyela is home now awaiting the next steps of her treatment. Due to Anyela's lack of mobility in her arm and leg, she needs constant care.

Amanda, Anyela and the family are staying hopeful and trusting in God's plan through this valley. We know He brings beauty out of ashes and we have already seen his hand at work and his provision over our family. The family thanks you in advance for your support and prayers during this difficult time.
