I first met Natasha Bhalla in high school over 30 years ago. We became inseparable: sweet sixteen parties, college buddies, marriage, babies, careers. We've been through all of life’s ups and downs together. Natasha is not just my best friend—she is my little sister and soul mate. Her kindness, strength, and radiant smile have touched everyone who is privileged to know her. Through every challenge, Natasha has shown incredible resilience. Her positive attitude makes the whole world a better place. She is a fighter. And that fighting spirit has never been more challenged than now as she battles stage 4 cancer.

After previously surviving stage 2 breast cancer, Natasha learned in 2022 that the disease had returned as stage 4 and spread to her lungs. It has since spread to her brain, and other parts of her body. Over the past year, she has endured five rounds of chemotherapy, multiple lung drains, and radiation, all while continuing to work at her job without taking time off. A few months ago, she was laid off from the job she had dedicated over 20 years to, and now her treatments have stopped working. Natasha is seeking hope through Ayurvedic cancer treatment in India, but the costs are overwhelming. The funds raised will help cover her travel to India, the Ayurvedic treatment, living expenses, medical bills, and health insurance so she can continue to fight for her life.

Natasha’s courage and positivity inspire everyone around her, and I am asking for your support to help her continue this fight. Your generosity will give her a chance to pursue new treatment and ease the financial burden she faces. Please help keep Natasha’s light shining in this world. Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
