Action needed: Help Melanie Face Stage IV Cervical Cancer with Hope and Care

 My name is Monica, and I am Melanie’s oldest sister. I am writing this with my daughter Gabriela. A month ago, I received a message that changed everything—Melanie has Stage IV cervical cancer. That has spread to her bladder and bones, and she is now facing the fight of her life. Melanie has faced tremendous hardship, trauma, and addiction throughout her life, but through extraordinary strength she completely rebuilt her life. From a young age she was a determined fighter becoming a 3 time national champion in Tae Kwon Do. Her passion to explore the world of arts lead her to becoming a photographer, a top shelf mixologist and professional make up artist/stylist. She transitioned her life and dedicated herself to healing and found purpose in Kerala Ayurveda Wellness Center and Academy under Dr. J. Kodinnath, as well as Clarity Breathwork with Dana Dharma Devi and Ashanna Solaris. If you know Melanie, you know her humor—she is truly the funniest person in our family, always able to make people laugh even in the hardest moments. Melanie will begin urgent chemotherapy and radiation at UCSF, Monday through Friday for the next three months. She must relocate to San Francisco immediately to be near her care team, as travel after treatment will not be possible. We are seeking an Airbnb near UCSF, as patient housing is currently unavailable. Donations will help cover the cost of housing, and recovery treatments not covered by insurance. Providing Melanie and her caregivers stability and support so she can focus on healing. We are humbly asking for your support. If you are unable to give, please share her story and keep her in your prayers. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, prayers, and support. May God bless you.
