Support Delana & Her Sweet Mama, Manuela

If you’ve ever met Delana, you know the warmth and kindness she carries. She is one of the most selfless, humble, and faith-filled people I have ever known. Her heart beats for sharing the love of Jesus, and just over a year ago, she took a leap of faith—leaving behind the security of a job to start Wildfire Ministries. She walked boldly into the unknown, following God’s call with no roadmap, just trust.

For a while, her journey was incredible—full of divine moments, testimonies, and the kind of faith that inspires. But life has taken an unexpected turn.

Manuela’s Battle Against Cancer

Delana’s sweet mama, Manuela, is facing her third battle with cancer. First diagnosed in 2006, she underwent chemo, radiation, and surgery before going into remission. In 2013, the cancer returned, but through treatments, she overcame it once again. However, this past Christmas, she was re-diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer that has spread to her bones—from her skull down to her hips and legs—along with a broken hip.

Despite the challenges, Manuela’s heart has remained open and giving. In the midst of her own health battles, she selflessly adopted her cousin’s two children, Izaiah (12) and Sophie (10), raising them as her own when they needed a loving home.

Now, as Delana steps fully into caring for her mother, she is facing overwhelming medical expenses, moving costs to be closer to her, and the daily financial burdens that come with providing for her family.

How You Can Help

If you know Delana, you know she would never ask for anything—but right now, she and her family need our support. Any funds raised will go directly toward:

If you are in a position to give, any amount would make a difference. And if you aren’t able to contribute financially, your prayers, encouragement, and sharing this message would mean the world.

Standing in Faith

Manuela’s condition may be considered incurable, but we are standing in faith for a miracle. Delana and her family are believing that God will make a way through this season, and we want to lift them up in every way we can.

Delana has poured so much love into the people around her—let’s pour some back into her. Thank you for reading, for praying, for believing with us.
