UPDATE - 18/04/24.
First I would like to express my deepest gratitude for all the generous people who are helping me finantially but also with prayers, hugs and messages that really encourage me to continue this journey of healing. A big thank you!!
Maybe some of you have noticed the updated funding amount. Following my recent oncologist appointment, I’ve been recommended a medication called Pertuzumab (Perjeta). This medication is an additional option to increase the chance of healing and prevent recurrence. The public system does not cover it. As I begin six cycles of chemotherapy, I’ll be using this medication alongside it.
Each cycle using this medication costs around $4,000, totalling $24,000 for the six cycles I need. This medication enhances my healing prospects.
Thank you for your time, donations, and blessings. May God shower you with abundant grace and blessings.

Hey guys, my name is Patricia, 38 years old. I'm from Brazil, living on the Gold Coast, QLD, with my husband Alejandro.
I've got some news to share—it's not easy, but I want to be open with you all.
On March 14th, I was diagnosed with Triple-positive breast cancer. It's been a whirlwind of doctor visits and tests, and soon, I'll be starting six months of chemotherapy and, after that, surgery. It's tough, and I won't be able to work for a while. Financially, it's a strain, too, especially with my visa status, making it hard to access financial support. I also want my mom, who's in Brazil, to be by my side during this time.
So, I've started a fundraiser to help cover the costs of essential expenses such as general practitioner visits, medications, and everyday living costs, plus a flight ticket for my mom.
Even a small contribution would mean the world to me and my family. It's not just about the money—your support is a big boost emotionally too. If you can't donate, please share this with anyone who can help.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this and for considering supporting me on this journey. Your kindness and support make a huge difference. If you have any questions or want to chat, please contact me directly. My sisters also will be supporting me by giving you guys updates.
With heartfelt gratitude, Patricia.
