Help for Fay Riganto
Donation protected
Dear Friends,
My dear sweet mom, Fay Riganto, has unexpectedly been diagnosed with Metastatic Esophageal Cancer. The doctors say it's high grade neuroendocrine carcinoma. On August 10, 2023, I received a phone call from my mom saying she couldn't walk and was in tremendous pain. After a CT scan in the emergency room, we learned she had masses growing in her pelvis - causing fractures. Over the last 10 days, biopsies, more imaging and tests; the doctors found more cancer in her spine, lungs and esophagus. This cancer is aggressive and they aren't sure that it can be treated.
My mom, Fay, has always been there for everyone else. Consistently putting others needs and wants above her own. She is kind and brave and in need of help. She can't walk now, stand or even sit up - despite her best efforts. At the young sge of 71 she is still working, she even went to work the day she called me but the pain was so bad she had to go home. Unfortunately, she won't be able to work anymore. We are doing what we can as a family to help, but finances aren't enough to help her pay her bills - medically or at home.
However much time we have left - we are grateful for. I'm asking the community for any help you may be able to offer to give my mom a little peace of mind while she is still with us. I thank you for your generous donation. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
A loving daughter.
