Help Celeste Find Peace & Heal From Her Brain Bleed

Hello,

My name is Andrea and I’m raising funds for my little sister Celeste — my only sibling, my best friend, and the most vibrant person I know — who is now facing one of the hardest chapters of her life after being diagnosed with another brain bleed as a result of radiation.

Celeste’s fight began on her 16th birthday, when she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Glioblastoma — the most aggressive form of brain cancer. It was the scariest time of our lives. I thank God every single day that the surgeons were able to remove the tumor, even though the treatment left her partially blind and caused long-term effects such as memory issues that have deeply impacted her quality of life.

Despite everything, Celeste has always stayed positive and hopeful about her future. She never gave up. She stayed friendly, active, and full of life. But now, her fight has taken a devastating turn.

Years after her original cancer treatment, Celeste is now suffering from a serious brain bleed — a complication caused by the radiation. She’s 28 now, and this new condition has left her completely drained, bedridden, and unable to work. Her doctors have admitted they didn’t think she would live this long.

Celeste sleeps most of the day, can't cook for herself like she used to. She enjoys eating healthy and meal prepping, but unfortunately, she does not have the energy for it anymore. Celeste also lives with constant fatigue, nausea, headaches, and dizziness. She’s under strict bed rest, and even her favorite things — like reading, working out or taking our dogs out for a walk— are out of reach right now. Worst of all, the last procedure she endured was so painful and traumatic that she's terrified to face anything like it again. She had to be awake while screws were drilled into her skull, and the pain didn’t stop for weeks. She has already decided she will not undergo another procedure.

Our Goal

We currently live in a shared environment that, while loving, isn’t as quiet as Celeste needs during this very delicate time. Moving her away from this environment would allow her to rest more deeply and recover more comfortably. With a brain bleed, keeping her blood pressure stable and getting uninterrupted rest is critical.

✨ How You Can Help

We’re raising funds to help Celeste:

• Move into a peaceful living space where she can fully rest and recover

• Cover medical expenses and daily costs while she’s unable to work

• Order comfort meals through DoorDash

• Access audiobooks (her favorite thing!) since she can’t physically read right now

My sister has always been and will always be the strongest person I know. She beat cancer. She lives with vision loss and now she’s trying to survive something she should never have to face again — with grace, hope, and so much courage.

If you can donate, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you can share this, thank you just as much. Every bit of help brings us closer to giving Celeste the comfort, healing, and peace she has always deserved.

With love,

Her big sister Andrea ♥️
