Dear Family, Friends, and Kind Supporters,
With heavy hearts but boundless hope, we’re reaching out to rally around our incredible Deena Restifo, a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend who is courageously battling Stage 4 Adenocarcinoma Breast Cancer with metastasis. This devastating diagnosis has turned Deena’s world upside down, bringing intense medical challenges and overwhelming financial strain. Yet, through it all, Deena faces this fight with the same fierce determination and grace that have defined her life.
Deena, a single woman, raised her beloved daughter and now cherishes her precious granddaughter. She has always been the heart of our family. Her love shines through everything she does, and her contagious laugh and unwavering positivity have lifted us all. It is now our turn to lift her up during her toughest battle yet.
Deena’s journey involves grueling treatments—chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and specialized therapies—alongside frequent hospital visits and alternative treatments to give her the best chance at healing. As a single person, the financial burden of these life-saving measures is staggering, with costs that insurance doesn’t fully cover. Her sister (me) and our mother, Donna, are by her side, helping with finances and driving her to countless appointments, but we need your help to ease the load so Deena can focus on fighting for her health.
We’re aiming to raise $75,000 to support Deena’s fight and ensure she can focus on healing. Your generous donations will directly cover:
- Medical Treatments: Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and other critical interventions.
- Medications: Prescription drugs not fully covered by insurance.
- Holistic Care: Nutritional support and alternative therapies to strengthen Deena’s body and spirit.
- Living and Recovery Needs: Home care, transportation to appointments, and daily expenses to support Deena and her family.
Every dollar makes a difference. No contribution is too small—whether it’s $5, $50, or simply sharing this campaign with your network. If you can’t donate, please share Deena’s story on social media or send her a message of encouragement through this page. Your love, prayers, and support will remind Deena that she’s surrounded by a community rooting for her.
Let’s show Deena she’s not alone in this fight, a fight she intends to win with the mercy of the Lord beside her. We’ll post regular updates here to share her progress and show how your generosity is making an impact. Together, we can give Deena the hope and strength to keep fighting for her daughter, her granddaughter, and the future she deserves.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being part of Deena’s journey.
With love and gratitude,
Michelle, Donna, Courtney
