Help Our Beautiful Friend Paola on Her Cancer Journey

In November 2025, life changed in an instant for our dear friend Paola Rivas Herrera, a strong, determined 39-year-old, and for everyone who loves her.

Paola has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

If you know Paola, you know she is an extraordinary human being—humble, hardworking, charismatic, and blessed with a contagious laugh that lights up every room. She is the devoted mother of Brandon (3) and Brianna (16), a loving wife to Diego, and an incredible daughter, cousin, and friend. She is a true role model and an inspiration to all who cross her path.

Paola has always been a fighter. As a single mom, she raised her daughter Brianna with strength and grace, and now Brianna is preparing to graduate high school and begin her college journey. Paola has worked tirelessly since the age of 14, always putting her family first. For the first time, she must step away from work to focus on her health and begin the battle against this devastating disease.

As Paola starts treatment, the cost of extensive medical care and everyday living expenses will become overwhelming. Our goal is to provide her with financial support and stability during this difficult time so she can focus entirely on healing.

We are deeply grateful for any support—whether through a donation or simply by sharing this page with others.

Please keep Paola and her family in your prayers.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for standing with Paola and her loved ones during this challenging journey.

With appreciation,

Paola’s family and friends (El Corillo)
