Support Tina’s Lymphoma Treatment

Hi friends, family, and kind strangers —

At 29 years old, I never expected to be writing something like this. Recently, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system that will require at least four months of chemotherapy. While I’m facing this next chapter with determination and grace, I won’t lie—this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to walk through.

I’m launching this GoFundMe to ask for help covering the many costs that come with serious illness. Even with insurance, the financial burden is overwhelming. Funds will go directly toward:

• Out-of-pocket medical expenses

• Chemotherapy and related treatments

• Mental health support and trauma therapy

• Comfort and recovery needs like nutrition support, supplements, and body care

• Potential gaps in income during extended treatment

• Basic living expenses as I focus on healing

I’m incredibly fortunate to have access to skilled doctors and a support network of family and friends—but cancer doesn’t just take a toll on your body. It disrupts your entire life. Appointments, side effects, navigating insurance, managing uncertainty—it’s all a full-time job, and I’ve had to step away from my work to focus fully on treatment and recovery.

More than anything, I want to come out the other side of this with my health, my dignity, and my hope intact. Your support—whether financial or simply sharing this page—means the world to me.

If you’ve ever felt tired for “no reason,” had symptoms dismissed, or struggled to advocate for yourself in the healthcare system, I see you. I’m here because I kept pushing. I listened to my body—and it saved my life.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for walking with me through this.

With love,

Tina
