Mother of 3 Fighting a Rare Cancer #RossStrong

Hi, my name is Heather. My dear friend, Ross Nemencio Tolentino, needs our help. Ross is currently fighting rare cancer called Esthesioneuroblastoma. She has been dealing with this ugly disease for quite some time now and has undergone multiple surgeries and many chemo and radiation treatments. She was first diagnosed in May of 2018. Her cancer was cleared but never in remission. Ross recently had a checkup where new scans were performed, and she, unfortunately, received devastating news. The cancer is back and has now spread to her spine, shoulder, ribs and skull. This will now be her 4th time battling this evil disease.

 

She has decided to keep fighting and will be starting treatment immediately. As of 4:00 pm today, she will begin radiation treatment. She has many reasons to keep fighting, but the most important are her three beautiful children who need their mother. Ross is about to turn 34 years old this month. She is young, beautiful inside and out, a great mother, a wonderful friend to many and has so much life left to live. She will beat this!

 

In the meantime, she has already missed several weeks of work and just like us, she has rent due, bills to pay and mouths to feed. This is where I need you all to come in and help. Any and all donations are a blessing. All funds will go directly to Ross to help her and her children out while she is out of work fighting for her life.

 

On behalf of Ross, her children, family and all of her closest friends, I appreciate the outpouring of love and support shown over the past few weeks and undoubtedly, in the months to come.

 

 

With Love,

Heather Martin
