Dear friends, family and caring individuals, We are starting this fundraiser in honor of our sister, Nataly. To some of you, this plea for your help may not comes as a surpise, but to many of you this may come as a shock. Nataly has always carried herself through life courageously and hopeful. She is not the kind of person to ever ask for help, instead, she would be the one helping others. You would have never known that in reality, she was battling an illness, one that has left her in a medically critical situation. Nataly was diagnosed with multiple autoimmune disorders that have greatly impacted her health for the past 10 years. She is diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis, a rare disease affecting the liver. Despite many treatments, trials and medications; Nataly has developed antibodies that do not allow the medications to work effectively which in turn, has affected her health and quality of life. On May 23, 2023, our family was made aware of the severity of Nataly's condition and how fast her health is declining. Now, an inpatient at Mount Sinai in Toronto, she is in the process of getting onto the priority list for a liver transplant as she is in stage 4 cirrhosis of the liver. She is also starting aggressive treatment to control her acute Ulcerative Colitis. We are hopeful that this round of treatment will help aide her flare-up to remission long enough to await a liver. If this treatement plan is unsuccessful, Nataly has no other option but to undergo an emergency colectomy surgery. Given her current state of health, this surgery is a life-threatening procedure. We hope that with your donations, we can help ease our sisters stress and cover financial responsibilites before, during and after all necessary medical interventions, medical equipment, medications, and support. If you or someone you know are curious about organ donations, we encourage you to visit www.beadonor.ca and www.liver.ca.  Nataly is only 29 years young with a whole life and bright future ahead of her. She is a shining light in our lives, a great sister to Alejandra and Krystal, all-hours-of-the-night kind of friend, and beautiful daughter to her mother Maria and father Jose. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, each and every single one of you who have read, shared or donated. We know that with the grace of God she will rise and He will provide the way. She is fierce . She is a fighter. She is strong. *updates will be provided as they become available*
