Penelope's Cancer has returned help needed during treament

Dear Friends and Supporters,

It’s with a heavy heart that I’m writing to share an update with you today. Unfortunately, my cancer has returned, and I have about three weeks to prepare for another round of treatment. As of today, February 11th, 2025, this new round will be much more aggressive, and it's overwhelming to think about what’s ahead.

I’m still working to recover from the credit card debt caused by the last round of treatments, and the financial strain has been challenging. The next 3-4 months of treatment will be intense and costly, and I’m reaching out to you—my friends and supporters—for help, only if you’re able. I know times are tough for many of us, and I truly understand if you’re unable to contribute.

Your support during the last round of treatment meant the world to me, and I am deeply grateful for each of you who has stood by my side. If you’re able to help again, no matter the size of the donation, it would make an enormous difference in my ability to focus on healing and pushing through this fight.

It’s not easy for me to ask, but I’m doing everything I can to stay strong and only ask as a last resort. I will also be creating more lino cut art and cards as a small gift for anyone who helps—art is something that keeps my mind occupied, and I love sharing it with others.

We are hoping to raise $15,000 to help cover the expenses of this next phase of treatment. I’m using this same campaign again, but we are starting from zero, and your continued support means everything to me.

NOTE: I won’t be sharing this more broadly online for a few weeks till we have a clearer picture of the full treatment plan.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being part of this journey with me. I couldn’t do this without you.

With all my love and gratitude,
