Support Tonya in Her Fight Against Breast Cancer

Dear Friends,

I’m reaching out with a heartfelt request for support for someone who has touched so many lives in our Catholic community: Tonya Lawson.

For years, Tonya has been a pillar of faith, service, and love in our parish. As the leader of the OCIA program, she has guided countless individuals on their journey to the Catholic faith, sharing her wisdom, compassion, and unwavering devotion. Beyond her ministry, she is a talented musician whose voice and music have uplifted our spirits during Mass and special celebrations.

Recently, Tonya received the difficult news that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. As a self-employed musician, she faces the added challenge of meeting a high insurance deductible for the life-saving surgery and treatments she needs.

In this time of need, we have the opportunity to come together as a community to support Tonya and her family. We’ve created a GoFundMe page to help cover the costs of her medical expenses, allowing her to focus on her health and recovery without the added burden of financial stress.

**Here’s how you can help:**

1. **Donate:** Any amount, no matter how small, will make a difference.

2. **Share:** Spread the word by sharing the GoFundMe link with your friends, family, and networks.

3. **Pray:** Keep Tonya and her family in your prayers as she undergoes treatment and recovery.

Tonya has given so much of herself to our community—now it’s our turn to give back. Let’s show her the same love, generosity, and faith she has shown us.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and prayers. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity.

With gratitude,

Melly Vega.
