Dear friends and family,

Our beloved Kaleena has recently been diagnosed with grade 3 breast cancer. Due to the severity of her condition, she is undergoing chemotherapy (with her first treatment session just 2 days after Christmas) swiftly after her initial diagnosis, as well as a long list of other necessary specialist visits.

She is currently receiving care at Hoag Hospital in Southern California, and the journey ahead will be challenging.

While many may know Kaleena's strength and resilience will help carry her through this challenge, the financial burdens she and her 2 young children will face in the coming months are substantial.

Kaleena is my oldest sibling and one of the most selfless people we know.

She has spent her life giving to others—always showing up, always caring, always putting others first. Whether as a mother, sister, family member, or coworker, Kaleena has a way of making everyone feel seen and heard.

Now, it’s our turn to care for her.

The funds raised here will go directly toward easing the financial strain of medical bills, lost wages, and other unforeseen expenses. By supporting Kaleena and her young daughter and son, we can ensure that they can focus entirely on her treatment without the added stress of financial worries.

Any surplus funds collected will be redirected towards support for her 2 children while she is in treatment.

Every donation, big or small, will make a difference. If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this with your network or keeping Kaleena in your thoughts and prayers.

Let’s come together to give Kaleena the love and support she has so freely given to all of us.

With love and gratitude,

Lauren (aka sister #4)
