Dear friends and family,
We are reaching out with a message of hope and solidarity to share the battle that our beloved Gina—my brother's wife—is currently waging against cancer. On September 2, 2025, Gina received the heartbreaking news that she had been diagnosed with uterine cancer. Despite undergoing surgery to remove her uterus, the cancer has advanced and spread to her stomach, requiring an intensive chemotherapy regimen. This journey has been incredibly challenging for Gina and our entire family.
Gina's struggle has been made even more difficult by the loss of her job, where she had worked for 25 years. After requesting a leave of absence to recover, her employer decided to terminate her contract, leaving her without any income. This has placed a tremendous financial and emotional burden on Gina and her husband. The news that they will be unable to have children due to the cancer has been a devastating blow for them both.
At this moment, Gina and her husband need our support to cover medical expenses and daily living costs. Her treatment is expensive, and their financial situation has become extremely difficult, as her husband is now the sole provider and often has to miss work to be by her side. We have created this GoFundMe campaign to help Gina cover the costs of her treatment and recovery. Any donation, no matter how small, will be of immense help and will enable us to keep moving forward in this fight. Your generosity, prayers, and support mean the world to us. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of Gina and her family.
With gratitude,
Israel Cortéz
