Join Sarai's fight to overcome Osteosarcoma

On July 8th, 2025 Sarai Vang, 14yrs old, was informed that she might be fighting a long and difficult fight for her life. After scans, labs, & biopsies, it was confirmed that Rai has a large, infiltrating osteosarcoma in her right tibia. On Tuesday, July 29th, Sarai began her fight against this aggressive malignant tumor. Her treatment plan is 10 weeks of inpatient chemo, followed by tumor resection and limb reconstruction, and then many months of chemo lasting a total of at least 10 months to a year. As Sarai and her family begin this year long process, they ask for your support, prayers, positive thoughts, and encouraging messages. They invite you to follow their story here, as updates will be given about once a week.

The reality of this disease is that it tries to take everything from those affected- health, peace, hope, resources... We do not accept that and are preparing to fight with Sarai through prayer and showing up for her and her family in whatever ways necessary.

The Vang family are a family of five. Sarai, 14, is the 2nd daughter of Kong and Nichole. She is to be starting High School this year. Nakai, 17, is Sarai's older sister, a H.S. student; and Zulai, the youngest, is just starting elementary school. Kong works full-time to provide for their family and Nichole is the home-maker and home-schooling mom.

The cost of treatments, scans, surgery, supplies, and therapies will be 40K-100K for the year, depending on many factors. Kong will be taking necessary days off work to look after his family's other needs and be with Sarai on certain days. The upcoming surgery will be in Southern CA and require them to travel and stay 1-3 weeks in the LA area, and have in home-health care for many months.

More details will unfold as this story is told; but for now, please, please do pray, send encouraging words (or advice if you have experience in a fight like this); and I ask you to consider if you are able and willing to donate financially to lighten the burden this family has to pay for all that is to come.
