Help Belkis Continue Her Fight Against Cancer

Donation protected
My name is Belkis Melendez, and for the past five years, I have been fighting the hardest battle of my life.

I was first diagnosed with uterine cancer. After enduring treatments, appointments, procedures, and the emotional toll that comes with a cancer diagnosis, I continued to push forward with faith and determination. Recently, I received another devastating diagnosis — leukemia.

This journey has been physically, emotionally, and financially overwhelming.

Over the years, I have undergone continuous treatments that have taken a toll on my body. Many days, I experience significant pain, limited mobility, and extreme fatigue. Because of this, I have not been able to work consistently. There have been periods when my health simply would not allow me to work at all.

Now, I find myself in urgent need of support.

While I am insured, not all of the treatments, medications, specialist visits, and related medical expenses are fully covered. The out-of-pocket costs continue to grow, and without steady income, it has become increasingly difficult to keep up with these expenses while also covering daily living needs.

I am humbly asking for your help.

Any contribution — no matter how small — will go directly toward:
• Ongoing cancer treatments
• Medications and specialized care
• Medical-related expenses not covered by insurance
• Basic living expenses during this time of medical hardship

My sister in law, Nancy Torra, is listed as a beneficiary as she will help me manage the funds.
If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign with others. Your prayers, encouragement, and support mean more to me than words can express.

I hold firmly to my faith and the promise that I am not alone in this fight. As it says in Romans 8:31, “If God is with me, who can be against me?” I believe with all my heart that with God and the support of this community, I will continue to fight.

May God bless you abundantly and multiply your generosity many times over.

With gratitude and hope,
Belkis Melendez


En español:

Mi nombre es Belkis Melendez, y durante los últimos cinco años he estado enfrentando la batalla más difícil de mi vida.

Inicialmente fui diagnosticada con cáncer uterino. Después de atravesar tratamientos, citas médicas, procedimientos y el impacto emocional que trae un diagnóstico de cáncer, seguí adelante con fe y determinación. Recientemente, recibí otro diagnóstico devastador: leucemia.

Este camino ha sido física, emocional y económicamente abrumador.

A lo largo de estos años he recibido tratamientos constantes que han afectado mi cuerpo. Muchos días experimento dolor significativo, limitaciones de movimiento y un cansancio extremo. Debido a esto, no he podido trabajar de manera constante. Ha habido períodos en los que mi salud simplemente no me ha permitido trabajar en absoluto.

En este momento, me encuentro en una necesidad urgente de apoyo.

Aunque cuento con seguro médico, no todos los tratamientos, medicamentos, visitas a especialistas y gastos relacionados están completamente cubiertos. Los costos de bolsillo siguen aumentando y, sin ingresos estables, se ha vuelto cada vez más difícil cubrir estos gastos junto con las necesidades básicas del día a día.

Con humildad, les pido su ayuda.

Cualquier contribución — sin importar la cantidad — será destinada directamente a:
• Tratamientos continuos contra el cáncer
• Medicamentos y atención especializada
• Gastos médicos no cubiertos por el seguro
• Gastos básicos de vida durante este tiempo de dificultad médica

Mi cuñada, Nancy Torra, aparece como beneficiaria. Ella me ayudará a manejar los fondos.

Si no pueden donar, por favor consideren compartir esta campaña con otras personas. Sus oraciones, palabras de ánimo y apoyo significan más para mí de lo que puedo expresar.

Me aferro firmemente a mi fe y a la promesa de que no estoy sola en esta lucha. Como dice Romanos 8:31: “Si Dios está conmigo, ¿quién contra mí?” Creo con todo mi corazón que con Dios y el apoyo de esta comunidad, seguiré luchando.

Que Dios les bendiga abundantemente y multiplique su generosidad muchas veces.

Con gratitud y esperanza,
Belkis Melendez
