Hello everyone, my sister and I have started this GoFundMe to help our cousin sister living in the Solomon Islands, who has received the devastating news of a stage 3 cervical cancer diagnosis. Due to the limited options of cancer treatments available in the Solomon Islands, we are hoping to have our sister travel overseas for treatments, including radiotherapy and immunotherapy, which would be beneficial to improve and extend her quality of life.

Our sister Deffenny is twenty-nine years old and turning thirty in a month. Receiving this diagnosis at such a young age has been heartbreaking for her and our family. The mental and physical toll this disease currently has on her body is overwhelming. Her symptoms have been severely debilitating, which include being in excruciating pain every day and bleeding that required her to have blood transfusions.

The stage 3 cervical cancer diagnosis is advanced and therefore inoperable; her options are chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation. Deffe has started undergoing chemotherapy in Honiara, Solomon Islands, to kickstart her treatment, but she is also a candidate for radiotherapy and immunotherapy, which is not available in the country. This is why we are hoping the funds raised will aid in her traveling overseas, where these treatments are available and accessible to give her the best chance at survival.

Deffe is a kind and selfless woman who has always put others before herself. As the eldest child, she is a big support system for her parents and her siblings, and even for our younger brothers and sisters. She is loved and treasured by our family, and this news has devastated us all. This diagnosis has taken so much from her in such a short span of time, and we do not want it to take her from us.

We appreciate any support we get. Any donation, big or small, is very much appreciated and will contribute to getting adequate and effective treatment for Deffe. If you're not able to donate, please consider sharing, as that would mean the world to us. Thank you for thinking of our sister.
