Hope for Kirstie: Brain Cancer Battle

Fighting Brain Cancer – Standing Strong for My Children
Hi, my name is Kirstie. I’ve worked full-time since I was 16 and even worked full-time while earning my bachelor’s degree in Business. I’ve always been independent and self-reliant, but my life changed when I was diagnosed with brain cancer.
Since then, I’ve undergone brain surgery, radiation, and continuous chemotherapy for an incurable form of this disease. Right now, I’m unable to work due to seizures and being unable to drive.
Asking for help has never been easy for me—my pride is strong—but nothing is more important than my children. My daughter Gianna Rose and our family are my motivation to fight every single day. I want to be here for them, to support them, and to give them the life they deserve.
The costs of ongoing treatments, medications, and everyday living have become overwhelming. That’s why we are reaching out for support—for our children’s future. Every donation helps us cover medical expenses, daily needs, and ensures that I can continue to be present in my kids’ lives.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with us through this journey. — Kirstie & Santiago Family
