Dear Friends and Supporters,

My name is Natalie, and I’m reaching out to you in a time of desperate need. Six years ago, I was diagnosed with lung cancer, and despite undergoing surgery to remove a portion of my lung, the cancer has resurfaced, spreading to my liver, kidney, and spine. I am now in stage four of this relentless battle.

To add to the challenges, my son has recently been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and requires therapy for his condition. Between his needs and my ongoing medical treatment, I am unable to work, and my husband, who has been my rock through this journey, was unfairly laid off for taking time off to care for us.

As a result, we are struggling to keep up with our mortgage payments and are currently losing our home. We are forced to relocate because we cannot afford to keep up with our bills. It kills me to have to uproot my family and leave our beautiful home. The burden of mounting medical bills for chemotherapy treatment only adds to our financial strain. We are truly facing the most difficult time of our lives.

We are humbly asking for your support during this trying period. Your generous donations will go directly towards covering my medical expenses, securing housing for our family, and providing essential therapy for my son. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in our lives.

We are eternally grateful for any assistance you can offer and for standing by us during this challenging time. Your kindness and generosity give us hope and strength to continue fighting.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Sincerely,

Natalie Berdeguez

I don’t think my wife ever posted this. I don’t think she wanted to worry anyone only a limited of people only knew about it.
