Hi, my name is Ismary, and I’m raising funds to support my incredible sister, Eli De La Rosa, as she begins the toughest battle of her life. Eli was recently diagnosed with Stage 2 HER2-positive breast cancer, which has already spread to her lymph nodes.

This aggressive form of cancer has shaken our whole family—but especially Eli, who is a devoted mother of two. She has a sweet and curious 2-year-old son who was recently diagnosed with autism, and a strong, caring 14-year-old daughter who adores her. Eli is the kind of mom who gives her entire heart to her children, and now more than ever, they need their mom healthy and strong.

For years, Eli has also been a passionate and gifted teacher—someone who truly loves what she does and has touched countless lives through her work in education. But due to the severity of her treatment plan, which includes 6 long rounds of chemotherapy followed by surgery, she’s been told she will be unable to work throughout this journey, as her immune system will be severely compromised.

As you can imagine, this journey is incredibly tough—physically, emotionally, and financially. Our family is doing everything we can to support her, but the added stress of medical bills, lost income, and everyday expenses is overwhelming.

I’m creating this fundraiser to help ease that burden, so Eli can focus entirely on healing, recovery, and being present for her children during this incredibly hard time.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to helping her fight this battle with the strength, hope, and dignity she deserves.

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this with others. And most importantly, please keep her and our family in your prayers.

From the bottom of my heart—thank you!
