<div>My name is Nardeen Jaballa, and I’m 25 years old. In 2023, I received the devastating news that I had a rare and aggressive cancer called Synovial Sarcoma. I was terrified, but I fought with everything I had. I went through surgery, treatments, and endless hospital visits. I believed I had made it to the other side.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But recently, everything changed again. My cancer is back — and this time, it’s even more aggressive. It has spread to my lungs, and I’ve been diagnosed with stage 4 Synovial Sarcoma. Hearing those words at 25 is beyond heartbreaking. I had plans, hopes, and dreams like any young woman. I never imagined I would be fighting for my life — again — so soon.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Doctors have told me that my best chance for survival is to receive treatment at a specialized cancer center outside of Iowa, where they offer advanced therapies and expertise for rare cancers like mine. But there’s one huge problem: my insurance does not cover treatment outside my state. That means everything — consultations, scans, treatments, medications — must be paid out of pocket. And the cost is overwhelming.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m doing everything I can to stay hopeful, but the financial burden is crushing. I never thought I’d be in a position where I would have to ask others for help to survive. But today, I am. And I’m asking with all the courage and humility I have: please help me fight for my life.
</div>

</div>
<div>Your donation — no matter the amount — will go directly toward my medical care. Whether it’s $50, $100, or more, every single contribution brings me closer to the treatment I urgently need. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing my story. You might reach someone who can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This cancer has taken so much from me already — my health, my stability, and many of my dreams. But I refuse to let it take my life. With your support, I can begin treatment, fight back, and hopefully return to a normal life. I want to be able to grow old, to be with my loved ones, and to live without fear.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, thank you for caring, and thank you — deeply — for any help you can give. You are giving me more than money — you are giving me a chance to live.
</div>
