Help Roma & Ben Pay Off Cancer Bills Together

Donation protected
My name is Roma, and this is the story of how God has watched over both my dog Ben and myself. Together, we’re facing a battle we never expected—but with faith, resilience, and your support, we believe we can overcome it.

Not long ago, I received the incredible news that I am cancer-free after fighting my own battle with thyroid cancer. However, this journey has left me with $8,500 in medical debt, a heavy financial burden that I am working hard to overcome. Now, as I continue to rebuild my life, an unexpected challenge has arisen: my dog, Ben, has been diagnosed with stage 1 cancer. While his prognosis is good, he urgently needs surgery to ensure his cancer doesn’t spread. The cost of his surgery is estimated at $5,000, adding to the already overwhelming financial strain I’m under.

Ben is more than just a dog; he’s my teammate, my protector, and my daily reminder of hope. He has been with me through every tear, every sleepless night, and every step of my healing journey. When I look into Ben’s eyes, I see more than just a pet—I see a kindred spirit who has walked this path with me. Ben has fought for me every day, and now it’s my turn to fight for him.

Ben and I have been blessed that neither of our cancers has been a fatal diagnosis. This is nothing short of miraculous proof of Jesus working in us and through us. These bills, though overwhelming, represent the cost of healing and hope—a hope that has carried us through even the darkest days. By God’s grace, both of us have faced overwhelming challenges and come out stronger. Now, we have a chance to move forward—together.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help us chip away at these burdens. All funds raised will go directly to covering my medical debt and Ben’s surgery. If we are blessed with extra, it will help me stay on track with rent and essential expenses as I navigate this challenging time.

Through this journey, I’ve learned that even the smallest acts of kindness can create ripples of hope. If you’re able to contribute—even $5—it will bring us closer to securing Ben’s treatment and easing the financial weight we’re carrying. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign with your network would mean the world to us.

Thank you for being part of our story, for believing in us, and for helping us continue this journey toward health and healing. God has brought us this far, and with your help, we can move forward together.

With heartfelt gratitude and hope,

Roma & Ben
