Mom of 3 Faces Stage 4 Cancer Hardships

Donation protected
Meet Leilani, a 43-year-old mother of three who has just received news that no one wants to ever hear - she has been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. Leilani is a strong-willed and kind-hearted person who has dedicated her life to providing for her family. Unfortunately, her job does not provide paid time off, and her income is based solely on commission.


It all started with stomach pains that Leilani thought were just temporary discomfort. But when the pain grew worse, she knew that something was not right. She went to the ER, and scans revealed that she had stage 4 colon cancer. The news hit Leilani and her family like a ton of bricks. As a mother of three children, Leilani was not financially prepared for the expenses of cancer treatment. Her partner has had to scale back his hours at work to help out with the children while she recovers.

Lelani had to be rushed to surgery to remove the cancer that has been causing her so much pain. The operation was supposed to take only one hour, but our brave Lelani fought through three long hours of surgery. Her spleen, along with part of her pancreas and colon, had to be removed in order to save her life. The strength and determination she showed during this difficult time brought tears to our eyes and warmth to our hearts. We can only imagine the amount of pain and discomfort she went through, and we want to do everything in our power to support her.

This cancer is known for spreading quickly, and Leilani's treatment plan requires a lot of aggressive therapy, surgery, and medications. She is fighting hard every day, but the mounting medical bills add to her stress and anxiety. Her kids are worried, and they can see how much the medical bills and lost wages are stressing their mom.

That's why Leilani's family has set up a GoFundMe campaign to help offset the cost of her medical bills and lost wages. We want to help Leilani focus on her healing and not have to worry about the financial burden.

Leilani is an amazing mother who is always putting her family's needs before her own. She is a caring and selfless person who never hesitates to lend a helping hand to those in need. She is a fighter, and we know that she will beat this cancer. But she needs your help.

No matter how big or small, every donation counts. Let's come together as a community and support Leilani and her family during this difficult time. Let's show her the love and support she deserves and help ease the burden of medical bills and lost wages.

Thank you for considering a donation to Leilani's GoFundMe campaign. Your generosity and kindness will make all the difference in the world to this amazing mother and her family.
