My sister-in-law Brenda is not just family—she’s been my close friend since high school. Over 30 years ago, I introduced her to my brother, and from that moment, she became a cherished part of our family. She’s always been there for us, and now, she needs our support more than ever.

Last month, Brenda was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. Her colon was completely blocked by a tumor and had adhesions to her urinary bladder. This led to an emergency surgery, and for a brief moment, we thought she was on the road to recovery. But just a few days later, she developed sepsis and had to undergo another emergency surgery, going into septic shock. It’s been a terrifying and exhausting journey for her and for all of us who love her.

She is now facing a long road to recovery, and the medical bills are overwhelming—especially since she doesn’t have any insurance. Anything you can share, no matter the amount, will go directly toward her financial burden. Even if you are unable to donate, my family completely understands and would deeply appreciate your prayers and sharing this GoFundMe link. Your kindness and support mean the world to us.

Thank you for keeping Brenda and our family in your thoughts and prayers. With gratitude and hope, The Alarcons.
