Don’t lose Omi: A mom’s lifesaving treatment fund

Aloha evryone!

We are Naomi’s best friends and hanai sisters, Jayzinne and Lila. We want to share our beloved sister’s story with you all.

Last year, Naomi was diagnosed with stage 3 Avelor Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer. Since then, she has been through intense chemotherapy, radiation, and even a feeding tube due to complications. But what's amazing is that despite all of this, Naomi's determination to be there for her precious little girls keeps her fighting every day. She recently underwent a hip replacement and bone recession surgery and is now awaiting further treatment plans after some microscopic cells were found. Naomi's biggest wish is to witness her girls growing up, alongside her loving husband, Josh, and we know she will do everything in her power to make that happen.

However, fighting cancer has come with a financial burden and extra stress. Naomi has always been a hard worker, and even during treatments, she's doing her best. Some days are tough, and she can't put in the hours she used to. That's why any amount of support means the world to Naomi and her family.

Naomi's strength and resilience have always been an inspiration to us. The weight of her cancer diagnosis and treatment has become overwhelming, and financial stress should not be an added burden. That's why we are stepping in to support her, not just as a gesture of love but also as a way to ensure she can focus on her health and well-being. Every donation will go directly to Naomi, helping her navigate this challenging time with a little more ease and a lot more hope.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your generosity and for helping our best friend continue her fight against cancer.

Optional methods of payment: If you're not familiar with crowdfunding, you can still support Naomi through CashApp and Venmo. I've attached her QR codes and payment information below. 

 ***UPDATE*** Your generosity has already made a significant impact, and we're grateful for every donation. Naomi's response to the outpouring of support is truly heartwarming: “I don't care about the money. But seeing people share it and stuff makes me cry.” Let's continue to show our love and support in any way we can. Every bit counts and is making a big difference in our girl’s fight against her cancer! #CancerSucks #CancerAwareness #WaianaeStrong

“The picture with me and Carolyn Rose. That was the first time I had seen her in 3 weeks. I was hospitalized for malnutrition and she is too young to come in and see me. So when I got strength i begged to see her. They let me walk to the waiting area and sit with here for 30 mins. I had to put on protective gear and take my IV with me. But man it was worth it.”
