Message from Renee, Danielle’s Sister:

As many of you have watched my sister battle this cancer with grace, poise, and true grit, like me I’m sure you’re in awe of her positive attitude and constant smile on her face.

As she continues this new treatment we are asking for the support of her family and friends, who Danielle has poured into and supported in many ways, to help her out.

Even as she goes through this she is trying to serve others. This is our time to truly serve her. Every dollar helps her continue this treatment that will relieve her pain and help her move towards a cure.

A Mother of Six Fighting for Her Life

My husband, our six children, and the communities I serve are my whole world. I am asking for your help to stay in it.

My Story

My name is Danielle. I am a mother of six. Shortly after the birth of our youngest, I started having symptoms that I knew were not normal. But doctor after doctor told me it was just postpartum recovery.

By the time I was finally diagnosed months later, the cancer had already taken hold.

For the past year, my family and I fought with everything we had. I went through rounds of chemotherapy, then chemo-radiation. The side effects were brutal. Constant fatigue. Nausea so bad I could barely take care of my kids. Liver complications. Dangerously low blood platelets. I pushed through all of it because I believed it would work.

It didn't. The cancer spread to my bones. I live with excruciating pain now, managed only by medication. And recently, my medical team told us they have no path to a cure.

But God is the Ultimate Healer, and He is not bound by what any doctor tells us.

What Gave Us Hope: Two Lives Transformed

When conventional medicine told us there was nothing left to try but palliative care, we did not give up. We prayed. We researched. We reached out to everyone we could.

And then we found two people whose lives had been saved by the treatment we are now pursuing.

We spoke with a woman whose mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer that had spread to her bones, the same diagnosis I received. Her doctors had run out of options. They told her to go to hospice. That was six years ago. Today, her mother is cancer-free and thriving.

The same woman told us about her aunt, who was facing Stage 2 cancer. She followed the same path. That was two years ago. Today, her aunt is also cancer-free.

Two stories. Both told to us by a daughter who watched her mother be sent home to die and then watched her live.

For the first time in over a year, we had something that no doctor's report could give us: real, tangible, living proof that remission is possible, even after palliative care has been recommended.

How This Treatment Works

Since then we’ve researched the clinic where these two survivors were treated. Their approach is different from anything we had tried before.

Instead of attacking my entire body with chemotherapy and hoping for the best, this protocol begins with advanced genetic profiling. They identify the specific driver genes fueling my cancer and build a personalized treatment plan designed to target them directly.

The treatment begins with an initial phase at the clinic, followed by continued care at home through an infusion pump over 6 to 9 months. This means I can be with my children throughout the process.

We Have Already Taken the Leap

By the mercy of God, I started treatment this week. I am currently at the clinic in Houston for the initial phase and will return home soon to continue with the infusion pump for the next 6 to 9 months.

We could not afford to wait. But the truth is, we cannot sustain this on our own. None of this is covered by insurance. And after a year of watching their mother fight for her life, my children cannot afford to lose me now.

Where Your Help Goes

Category & Estimated Cost

Total

$132,000

What these numbers mean:

$102,000 — The treatment itself. This is what the clinic charges.

$5,000 — Travel and a place to stay in Houston during the initial phase. We're keeping it as simple as possible.

$10,000 — Scans and labs that insurance won't cover.

$15,000 — A nurse at home so I don't have to choose between continuing treatment and caring for my children.

We have already spent thousands of dollars out of pocket alongside standard care on treatments to support my body through this fight.

Every dollar raised now goes directly toward keeping me alive for my children.

Who I Am

For those who may not know me personally: my name is Danielle LoDuca. I am a coach and trusted advisor who empowers women to reclaim peace, joy, and power in their lives.

I host The Thriving Muslim Woman Podcast, where we explore faith, motherhood, and personal growth. Alongside my husband, I co-founded two nonprofit organizations: the Jesus Son of Mary Center in Tampa, Florida, and the NYC Muslim Center — the largest Muslim center in New York City. The NYC Muslim Center is home to a private K-12 school and dozens of community programs that serve thousands of people every week.

I have given my heart to this community, and this community has given me everything in return. The thought of continuing to serve alongside all of you is one of the things that keeps me going.

I am not someone who asks for help easily. But for my children, for the chance to watch them grow, to hold them, to guide them — I am asking now.

How You Can Help

Every contribution matters. Whether it is $10 or $10,000, you are helping a mother stay with her children.

If you cannot give financially, please share this campaign. A single share can reach someone who can help.

And please, pray for my healing. Ask God to grant me healing, to let me see my children grow, and to reward every person who supported this family.

A Prayer for You

We pray that for every bit of hope you give us, God grants you and your family a lifetime of health, protection, and blessing. May He never let you face a hardship without surrounding you with people who show up for you the way you are showing up for us.

With love and gratitude,

Danielle

Mother of six. Community builder. Believer in miracles.
