Naveya Needs Your Help
Donation protected
In October 2022, Naveya (12) was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, a terminal brain and cancerous spinal tumor. Naveya is a high honors student who lives with her mother, Fernanda, and sister, Brielle (9). Naveya has had surgeries to remove 70% of the tumor, a shunt installed due to fluid buildup in her brain, and has just finished six weeks of radiation. Because of the treatment's intensity and the cancer's aggressiveness, her scalp and back were burned. The doctors have done everything they can and have given Naveya less than a year to live. Needless to say, this is the most devastating and life-changing news for Fernanda, a single mother, and the rest of the family have ever received.
We want to keep hoping and believing that Naveya can live longer with alternative treatments available in the United States. Naveya means everything to her mother, sister, and father, Sharond, who is deeply involved in their lives. This Go Fund Me will give this family of three breathing room to navigate life without the burden of uninsured medical bills, mortgage, car and utility bills, and, in the worst-case scenario, funeral expenses. This Go Fund Me page is dedicated to them. It's so Naveya can pursue every treatment option available to extend her 12 years to much, much longer. So she can be a mommy to her daughters and give Naveya the best life possible.
We are grateful to everyone who has come together to support Naveya in any way they can; she is a fighter, and she is loved by all. If you are able, please give whatever assistance you can to Naveya's family, and share this information with anybody else who might be able to help. Our deepest gratitude goes out to you, and may God bless every one of you.
