Dear family and friends

I am writing to share a deeply personal update about my health. I was recently re-diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and thyroid cancer, specifically it has spread to my spleen and left lung. Also, my thyroid cancer has grown larger. Hearing the words “your cancer was not cured, it has gotten worse” has completely changed my world., but I am ready to fight this once again with everything I have. My medical team at Loma Linda medical hospital is putting together a treatment plan that includes a more radical chemotherapy and cell therapy. While I am staying positive and focus on the upcoming procedures, the reality of undergoing intensive cancer treatment is incredibly challenging. Beyond the physical toll, the financial burden has accumulated rapidly. I am facing mounting expenses, including: out-of-pocket medical bills and insurance co-pays. Prescription medications and specialized care. Everyday living expenses and bills while I am unable to work. Travel costs to and from my treatment facility. I am launching this GoFundMe campaign to help relieve the financial pressure so that my family and I can focus entirely on my recovery and getting my healthily again. Any contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference. If your unable to donate, you can still help immensely by sharing this page with your network and keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, generosity, and prayers during this difficult chapter. I will share regular updates on my progress right here.

with love and gratitude, Natalie
