Hi, my name is Sam and I am a behavioral therapist/preschool teacher in the Philippines. I'm reaching out to you today because l've been diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma, a type of thyroid cancer.

Receiving this diagnosis has been overwhelming and unexpected, but I'm determined to fight and stay strong with the support of my family, friends, and community.

The journey ahead involves multiple treatments, including surgery, possible radiation therapy, and regular follow-up appointments. While I'm doing everything I can to remain positive and focused on my recovery, the financial burden of medical bills, treatments, and other related expenses has been difficult to bear.

I'm asking for your support to help cover these costs and allow me to focus fully on healing without the added stress of financial worry. Your generous donations will go directly to covering medical expenses, treatments, and any additional costs that arise during my recovery.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a world of difference in my fight against cancer. I am deeply grateful for any support you can provide, whether through a donation or by sharing this campaign with others. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to me during this challenging time.

This GoFundMe will be managed by my Godmother, Mary Rose Rayco & Godfather, Dave Metran. All funds will be sent directly to the Philippines.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Together, we can make a difference!

With gratitude,

Samantha Aiva Rayco
