Hi, my name is Marina , and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for help for my amazing mom, Dee.

She was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and everything has happened so fast. After many emotional and exhausting appointments, we’ve learned she will need a double mastectomy and will be out of work for several weeks as she recovers from this major surgery.

My mom is one of the strongest, most resilient people I know — always the one helping others, whether it's family, friends, or even animals. Now, she’s the one who needs help.

Between medical expenses, travel to and from appointments, lost income, and caring for her beloved dogs at home, the financial stress is adding up quickly. We’re trying to ease her burden so she can focus on healing without the weight of everything else crashing down on her.

If you can donate, even a small amount, it would mean the world to our family. If you’re not able to give right now, sharing this page can help more than you know.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for supporting my mom during one of the hardest times of her life.

With gratitude,

Marina
