I’m asking for help as I face a diagnosis of Large B-Cell lymphoma while also trying to keep going for my family. I have been traveling to Southern California for treatment at City of Hope, and the physical toll has been a lot to carry. At the same time, I am preparing for my daughter’s wedding and doing my best to remain the main provider for my family.

This season of life is bringing both an important medical fight and an important family milestone at once, and the financial strain has become more than I can manage alone. Between traveling for treatment, covering my medical expenses, helping with my daughter’s wedding costs, and keeping up with everyday living expenses, I have already had to take out loans just to keep up.

Support from this fundraiser will help me keep up with these ongoing needs as they continue over time: my medical expenses, the cost of traveling for treatment, wedding-related costs for my daughter, and the living expenses my family still depends on me to cover. Predictable recurring donations would especially help me as I continue treatment and work to stay afloat from month to month, and one-time donations would also mean so much and bring real relief.

If you are able to give or share this fundraiser, thank you for standing with me during this difficult time. Your support will help ease the financial pressure so I can focus on my treatment, continue supporting my family, and be present for my daughter during her wedding.
