Our dear Yana (originally from Ukraine) began her fight with stage III breast triple negative cancer, later progressing to stage IV and leptomeningeal carcinoma. Through chemo, radiation, immune and targeted therapies, she showed remarkable strength in her journey

During the last two months, Yana was in the hospital, surrounded by care and love.

Despite all efforts, on Thursday, November 27th, at 6 PM, she passed away.

Yana was a daughter, a sister, a friend, and a deeply loved person whose warmth touched everyone around her. Her kindness, strength, and light will stay with us forever.

We are now raising funds to help cover the costs of her funeral, memorial service, and the transportation of her ashes from Canada to her family.

Any support — of any size — means so much during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for keeping Yana in your hearts.
