There are people who come into your life and truly change it—and my stepmother Diana is one of those people for me. She came into my life when I was 15 years old, during a time when I needed love, guidance, and support the most. She didn’t have to love me the way she did—but she chose to. She poured into me, lifted me up, and never stopped being that same selfless, supportive woman.

Now Diana is facing one of the toughest battles of her life: cancer. While she prepares for chemotherapy and the physical and emotional toll it brings, she is also carrying the heavy burden of financial stress. After losing her job a year ago, she is now facing medical expenses, treatment costs, and everyday living needs—all while trying to stay strong enough to fight. Her youngest grandchild is just one year old, and Diana wants nothing more than to be there for her family and continue sharing her love and strength.

I’m asking for help so Diana can focus on healing instead of worrying about how to afford it. She has always been there for others. Now it’s our turn to be there for her. Diana is a mother, a grandmother, and a woman who has touched so many lives with her kindness. If you can give, no matter the amount, it truly means everything to our family. And if you can’t, sharing this message is just as appreciated. Thank you for your love, support, and prayers.
