Isabella is a young, strong, and incredibly resilient woman who has already endured more than most people face in a lifetime.
In April 2024, Isabella was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive bone tumor called a Giant Cell Tumor of Bone (GCTB). Due to the tumor’s extremely rare location in her sacrum, near the base of her spine, it was deemed inoperable. Because doctors could not safely remove it, Isabella began undergoing intense treatments, including 15 cycles of proton radiation therapy and ongoing monthly chemotherapy, which she continues to receive today.
Then, in 2025, Isabella suffered a devastating sacral fracture caused by the tumor crushing and damaging her spine. This led to emergency surgery to stabilize her collapsing spine using metal rods and screws.
While the surgery was necessary to save and stabilize her spine, it came at a heartbreaking cost: severe, chronic pain that now affects every aspect of her daily life.
Despite enduring cancer treatments, major spinal surgery, endless medical appointments, and constant physical pain, Isabella continues to fight with extraordinary courage and strength every single day.
But the reality of what she lives with is difficult to imagine.
Simple things most of us take for granted sitting comfortably, walking without pain, sleeping through the night, or simply enjoying a normal day have become daily struggles. She lives with constant pain, exhaustion, and uncertainty, yet she continues to face each day with remarkable resilience.
After exhausting multiple treatment options, Isabella’s doctors have now recommended a spinal cord stimulator implant — an advanced medical device designed to help block pain signals and finally provide some relief after years of suffering.
This procedure could truly change Isabella’s life. It could help reduce her pain, restore some independence, and give her the chance to experience moments of normalcy again.
But the financial burden has become overwhelming. Between ongoing cancer treatments, specialized care, surgeries, recovery, travel, and mounting medical expenses, the costs continue to grow far beyond what the family can manage alone.
That is why we are reaching out for your help.
Every donation, no matter the amount, brings Isabella one step closer to a life with less pain and more hope. Your support could help her smile more, rest more peacefully, and reclaim parts of the life that cancer and chronic pain have taken from her.
And if you are unable to donate, please keep Isabella in your prayers and consider sharing this campaign. Even sharing her story can make an enormous difference.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing beside Isabella during the hardest fight of her young life.
With gratitude,
