Support Dana Roske’s Care & Create Lasting Memories

As many of you know, Dana has been battling cancer since 2021. She faced breast cancer with incredible strength, undergoing surgery and chemotherapy with promising results. However, routine scans later revealed additional primary cancer sites beyond the breast, affecting her stomach lining, GI tract, and liver. Over the years, her condition has progressively worsened. Despite these challenges, Dana continued to fight with determination, receiving advanced treatment through UCLA, all while balancing full-time work, managing her household, caring for her two daughters, and supporting her father through his own battle with cancer, which he sadly lost in January 2024.

In October 2024, Dana received the devastating news that her cancer had progressed to Stage 4 terminal, with no conventional treatment options left to stop its aggressive spread. With unwavering hope, she joined a clinical trial, enduring extensive medications, side effects, and frequent travel for scans and treatment. However, in February 2025, we learned that the trial was not effective against the cancer in her liver, which continues to spread rapidly. Her doctors have estimated that her time left with us is limited.

As Dana faces these next months, we want to ensure she has the care, comfort, and support she needs. We've started this GoFundMe to help provide for Dana’s personal and medical necessities including various in-home support, household cleanings, medical expenses, and hopefully some special experiences for her and her daughters to create lasting memories.

Any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference in Dana’s journey. Your generosity will help relieve the financial burden of her care and allow her to focus on spending precious time with her girls.
