My sister is 36 years old and has spent her life supporting everyone around her. She’s the one who threw my wedding, planned family baby showers, and, as a makeup artist, has always made people look as good as they feel. For months, she’s been quietly dealing with pain, but it wasn’t until an abnormal pap smear that everything changed. That test led to her recent diagnosis of cervical cancer, and her world has been turned upside down.

She had been struggling with rising insurance costs, which became impossible for her to keep up with. Without insurance, she had to go through the ER to get the urgent care she needed, and now she's in the hospital, waiting to learn what stage her cancer is in. The uncertainty and stress are overwhelming, and the medical bills are piling up fast. As a freelance makeup artist, my sister has always worked hard to support herself, but this diagnosis has made it nearly impossible for her to cover her everyday expenses. Rent, phone, and energy bills are all adding up, and she needs help to get through this difficult time. Your support will go directly toward covering her medical bills and essential living costs, giving her a chance to focus on her health and recovery.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. If you can't donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser. And most importantly, please take care of your health—get your pap smears, HPV vaccines, and annual checkups. Early detection and prevention can make all the difference.
