<div>If you’ve had the privilege of knowing Marina, you know she has a rare and beautiful way of moving through life. She’s the kind of person who finds joy in life’s simple moments by creating, caring, and giving to others. Whether she’s shaping pottery with her hands, building something beautiful from wood, spending time outdoors, or caring for animals as a veterinary technician, Marina pours her whole heart into everything she does.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her greatest joys are the life she has built with her husband of five years, Nico, and the light of their lives, Brisa. She is fiercely loyal to the people she loves, endlessly compassionate, and one of those rare people who is always the first to show up for a friend in need or an animal without a voice. Her kindness and selfless spirit have touched countless lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At just 34 years old, Marina’s world was turned upside down by a diagnosis no one expects to hear: Stage IV colorectal cancer. She is currently undergoing additional testing to determine the most effective treatment plan.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In an instant, everyday life was replaced with doctor appointments, scans, treatments, difficult decisions, and an uncertain road ahead. Through it all, Marina has faced each day with remarkable courage, supported by Nico, her family, and everyone who loves her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As Marina focuses on treatment and healing, the financial burden continues to grow. Medical bills, medications, travel to appointments, lost income, and everyday living expenses quickly add up. Our hope is to ease that burden so Marina and Nico can focus on what matters most—her health and the time they have together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you would like to help, there are several meaningful ways to support Marina’s journey:
</div>
<div>● Donate through this GoFundMe. Every contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward medical expenses, treatment-related costs, and everyday living expenses.
</div>
<div>● Share this fundraiser with your family, friends, and social networks. Even if you’re unable to donate, sharing Marina’s story can make an incredible impact.
</div>
<div>● Support Marina’s art by purchasing one of her handmade pottery pieces through her Etsy shop, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MaAndPawCreations?ref=profile_header&amp;utm_source=ig&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_content=link_in_bio&amp;fbclid=PAdGRleAS98YlwZG9mAmV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDzEyNDAyNDU3NDI4NzQxNAABp39Dc2BwoJ1P4Ejz6VyxjeLAENg-d_EFjY4x_dkeYJRU1s2BPTd2BT3MGlzR_aem_M6cjqHrCMGLl4a-9GmPtjQ&amp;dd_referrer=" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ma and Paw Creations</a>. Every purchase supports both her creative passion and her journey.
</div>
<div>● Keep Marina and Nico in your thoughts and prayers. Messages of love, encouragement, and hope mean more than words can express. It truly takes a community to carry one another through life’s most difficult moments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support. Every donation, every purchase, every share, and every prayer reminds Marina and Nico that they are not facing this journey alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We love you, Marina. ❤️
</div>
