If She’s Ever Made You Smile—This Is Your Moment to Show Up

Maria (Ria) has been diagnosed with stage 2 cervical cancer and will be undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments over the next few months as she fights to heal.

To know her, is to love her. Maria radiates positivity and light to each person she encounters. No matter how you meet, she always carries a smile with a can do/will do attitude. Maria has that “I’ve got you no matter what” energy. She gives endlessly to her family, her business, and everyone lucky enough to know her. ✨

Now she needs us.

This diagnosis means she will have to step away from everything she’s built, resulting in lost income, mounting medical bills, and the weight of everyday expenses all at once.

Donations will help cover medical treatments, insurance gaps, household bills, and basic living expenses during her recovery. No amount is too small—every bit truly helps.

She’s also a devoted mom to her teenage daughter, and with the demands of treatment ahead, the need for support—meals, transportation, and help with day-to-day life—will be greater than ever.

Support is needed now as treatment begins and expenses are already building.

It’s a lot. And she shouldn’t have to carry it alone.

If Maria has ever shown up for you, made you smile, or inspired you—this is the moment to show up for her. Donate if you can. Share this. Drop off a meal. Help however you’re able. Every single act of support matters.

Let’s surround her with the same love she’s always given so freely.
