My dear friend, Lana, has been courageously battling cancer since she was diagnosed in mid-2024. Over the past year, she has faced a long and difficult journey—enduring chemotherapy, radiation treatments, and most recently, major surgery. Through it all, she has remained strong, hopeful, and full of grace, even on the hardest days.

Unfortunately, the treatments have taken a toll on her body. Lana has suffered from severe side effects, including shingles, muscle weakness, and neuropathy, which have caused her significant pain and made everyday life more challenging. She is currently on medical leave for at least six weeks as she continues to recover from surgery and regain her strength.

During this time, Lana will have to make do on only a fraction of her regular income, while still facing the heavy burden of medical bills and daily living expenses. Despite her best efforts, the financial strain of medical treatments, medications, and recovery costs has become overwhelming.

That’s why I'm reaching out to her friends, family, and kindhearted community—to ask for your help.

I’ve set a goal to raise $31,000 to help Lana cover her medical debt, household expenses, and essential costs while she focuses on healing.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. Your support will help relieve some of the stress so Lana can concentrate on what matters most—getting well and moving forward with her life.

Please consider donating or sharing this campaign with others who may be able to help. Together, we can show Lana that she is not alone in this fight.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and prayers.

With gratitude,

Maureen
