My name is Ariana and I am facing the most difficult chapter of my life. In September 2025, I was diagnosed with stage 3c breast cancer that has already spread to my lymph nodes and bones. For years, I tried to get answers about my health, but doctors dismissed my concerns and denied me a mammogram because of my age. I was repeatedly told everything was fine, but now that the cancer has been found, it is aggressive and spreading quickly. I need to begin chemotherapy as soon as possible. I am only 33 years old, and this diagnosis has turned my world upside down.

Becoming a mother has always been my greatest dream. As the eldest sibling, I grew up caring for my brothers and sisters, and I have longed for a child of my own for years. In 2022, I finally became pregnant and gave birth to my first child in 2023, but tragically, she passed away just five days after birth. The pain of losing her is something I carry every day, and my hope to become a mother again is what keeps me moving forward.

Now, with my cancer being 90% estrogen positive, my doctors have told me that my ovaries may need to be removed, and chemotherapy will likely damage my fertility. I have found a fertility clinic willing to help, but they require payment upfront, and my insurance will not cover any of the costs. The funds raised will go directly toward the consultation, treatment, medications, and egg freezing so I can begin the process after my next cycle in December. Without this help, my chance to have my own children will be lost forever. Your support means everything to me as I fight for my future and the family I still hope to have.

I appreciate your support and hope to be able to start a family after dealing with this cancer.
