Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

With a heavy heart but unwavering determination, I am reaching out to you. My name is Daniela Riveros, a proud half-Colombian, half-Costa Rican ("tica") woman, and I am embarking on the most challenging journey of my life – battling breast cancer at the age of 32.

Life has thrown me an unexpected curveball, and while I've always relied on public healthcare, my current diagnosis demands a more aggressive and immediate approach. My doctor has recommended private surgery and extensive tests to combat this fast-moving, aggressive cancer.

The emotional and financial burden of this battle is daunting. The cost of chemotherapy (partially covered), surgery, medication, and other essential treatments is substantial. As someone who has always valued independence, asking for help is humbling, yet necessary.

I've been blessed with incredible support from my friends, family, and colleagues at Superside. They've provided moral support, insisting that I shouldn't face this alone. However, I also need financial assistance to cover the significant costs of my treatment.

Here is an overview of the forecasted expenses for my treatment:

Diagnostic Tests: $1,000 - $1,500

Physical Therapy: $320 monthly

Side Effects of Chemotherapy: $270 monthly

OBGYN Expenses: $170 monthly

Psychological Support: $320 monthly

Medication: Up to $1,000 monthly

Follow-up Care and Monitoring: $500 monthly

Total Monthly Expenses: $3,830

Surgery (Mastectomy): $10,000 - $20,000

I aim to manage my expenses with my earnings and savings, but I need assistance to raise the $10,000 to $20,000 required for my surgery. Your contributions will directly cover these expenses, ensuring I receive the care necessary to fight this battle. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a significant difference in my journey towards recovery.

Thank you for your kindness and unwavering support during this challenging time. I am deeply grateful for each of you.

With love and gratitude,

Daniela Riveros <3
