Our mom has always been the heart of our family. She raised five children with endless love and dedication, and her support didn’t stop there—she’s also played a huge role in helping us raise her seven grandchildren. Her kindness and strength have touched everyone around her, and she’s always been there for us in times of need.

Recently, our family received devastating news: our mom was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. She lives in Ecuador and, unfortunately her insurance does not cover the treatment due to pre-existing conditions, as she is a breast cancer survivor. Her oncologist has recommended three rounds of chemotherapy, each costing a significant amount, along with numerous tests before and during treatment. The costs are overwhelming, and she is in pain most of the time. We are hoping and praying that this treatment will give her a better quality of life and ease her suffering.

We are reaching out to our community and beyond for help. Supporting our mom through this fight means everything to us. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference and is deeply appreciated. Thank you for reading our story and for considering helping our family during this incredibly difficult time.
