Help Yonit Heal & Rebuild Her Life from Cancer.
Donation protected
Hi, I’m Yonit, 22 years old.
At just 19, my life was turned upside down when I was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive facial tumor—Maxillary Cancer. It took my vision, disfigured my face, and brought unbearable symptoms that forced me to leave college and withdraw from the world.
Radiation and surgery saved my life, but they left behind lasting damage. I now need several complex reconstructive surgeries—on my eye socket, nasal wall, and to replace teeth lost during treatment. Sadly, my family spent everything we had on the radiation therapy, and we can’t afford what comes next.
After three long years of pain and isolation, I’m finally beginning to feel hope again. I dream of rebuilding my face, returning to school, and reclaiming the life this illness tried to take from me.
If you can help—by donating or simply sharing my story—it would mean the world. Every bit brings me closer to healing, both inside and out.
Thank you so much,
Yonit
