Help my mom walk again. Ayuda a mi mamá a caminar

My name is Adilssa Santos, daughter of a fighter. My mom, Adalgisa Marte has been fighting cancer for a very long time. It all started in 2015 when she was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, for which she got her breasts removed and underwent chemotherapy. She was in remission after that until in 2018 she was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. She was stable (or so we thought) until now. We went for a regular check up and we found out that the her hip joint, connecting the femur and the pelvis was completely hollowed out by the cancer, it had eaten her bone. She has been under 35 radiation treatments in that area, and a total of 53 chemotherapy sessions. She has been in a wheelchair for two months yet she still shines and smiles everyday. We need 24,655 dollars to be able to operate and replace her bone with a prosthetic, her insurance is basic and it won’t cover the expenses for the surgery. We would be beyond grateful if everyone reading this message shared it and helped giving my mom another chance at life. As a daughter, I want my mom to be with me during every milestone in my life. Cancer has taken a lot from us and we are trying to overcome every difficulty life throws at us. Please share, donate what you can, and include us in your prayers. Thank you.

Mi nombre es Adilssa Santos, y soy hija de una guerrera. Mi madre, Adalgisa Marte, ha luchado contra el cáncer desde hace varios años. Todo empezó en el 2015, cuando fue diagnosticada con cáncer de mama, por lo que tuvo que retirarse el tejido mamario y pasar por sesiones de quimioterapia. Después de esto estuvo en remisión hasta el 2018, cuando se le diagnosticó Osteosarcoma. Estuvo estable (o eso pensamos) hasta ahora. Fuimos al hospital por un chequeo regular, y nos dijeron que el hueso que une su pelvis con el fémur, estaba completamente hueco, el cáncer se lo había deteriorado. En total, mi mamá ha atravesado 53 sesiones de quimioterapia y 35 radiaciones. A raíz de esto, mi mamá ha estado en silla de ruedas por dos meses, incapaz de caminar, pero con un optimismo y una sonrisa capaces de alegrar el día a día. Necesitamos 1,430,000 pesos, o 24K dólares para poderle operar y reemplazar el hueso por una prótesis, su seguro es básico y no cubre este tipo de cirugías. Cualquier ayuda se agradece de corazón, si no puedes donar por favor compártenos en tus redes y riega la voz. Como hija, quiero ver a mi mamá conmigo en todos los momentos importantes de mi vida. El cáncer nos ha quitado mucho y seguimos tratando de superar cada obstáculo que se nos presenta. Por favor comparte, dona lo que puedas, e inclúyenos en tus oraciones. Gracias
