Help Cathy Porfidio Fight Cancer with Hope and Healing

A beloved teacher. A devoted children’s pastor. A loving wife, mother, and Mimi. A woman of unwavering faith and strength. In September 2024, Cathy Porfidio received the devastating news that she had a Stage Three tumor. With courage and grace, she began a rigorous treatment plan at MD Anderson, including six weeks of targeted radiation and two rounds of chemotherapy. Her doctors were hopeful, and Cathy faced each day with resilience and unwavering faith.

But in May, a routine PET scan and blood work revealed heartbreaking news: the cancer had returned.

Despite this setback, Cathy and her medical team at MD Anderson are not giving up. They’ve recommended a new course of action—alternative treatments that offer hope but are not covered by traditional insurance. These therapies represent Cathy’s best chance at healing and continuing to be the light she is to so many. Cathy has spent her life pouring love and care into others—teaching children, guiding families, and offering comfort and wisdom to everyone around her. Now, it’s our turn to support her.

How You Can Help

We are raising funds to help cover the significant costs of these alternative treatments, travel expenses, and ongoing care. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to giving Cathy the fighting chance she deserves.

If you’ve ever been touched by Cathy’s kindness, inspired by her faith, or uplifted by her smile, please consider contributing to her healing journey. And if you’re unable to give, your prayers, love, and shares mean the world.

Let’s rally around Cathy and show her that she’s not alone in this fight.

With gratitude and hope,

The Porfidio Family
