My Story

Hello, my name is Guadalupe. I am a single woman and the sole caregiver of my two young grandchildren, who depend entirely on me. They do not have a father in their lives, and I am their only support, their guide, and their home.

Just 15 days ago, my life changed completely. I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, with metastasis to my liver and lungs. Receiving this news has been heartbreaking not only because of my own health, but because my biggest worry is my grandchildren: their wellbeing, their future, and the fear of not being able to continue caring for them as they deserve.

The facing this situation alone has been incredibly difficult. But I will not give up, because they need me. My hope is to continue treatment and fight for more time with them.

Due to my low income I can NOT afford the treatment and other medical expenses..

after treatment I need a surgery to help doctor remove the tumor. This has been an unexpected process and we were not ready financially. My bills are accumulating and I can’t work at the moment.

Today, with all humility, I open my heart and ask for your help. Every contribution, no matter how small, gives me a chance to keep fighting. It means more time with my grandchildren. It means hope.

Thank you for reading my story, for sharing it, and for any way you are able to help. May God bless you for your compassion and generosity.
