Support Gabriela's Fight Against Meningioma
Donation protected
This is my beautiful mom, Gabriela.
Coming from an impoverished family in Argentina, my mom’s childhood was one of hardship. Born into a world where she would have to work tirelessly for the rest of her life. Sometimes working 3 jobs at a time to support herself. But because of this, my mom is the strongest person I have ever known. Brave beyond words.
Around 2 years ago, she was diagnosed with Meningioma, a benign brain tumor. It was small then, non-life threatening, and only about 1cm. In recent months, it has come to triple in size. She now needs surgery before the end of the year.
The cost of the surgery, subsequent treatments, and paying for rent/food are overwhelming. Despite having insurance, the out-of-pocket expenses are far beyond what she can manage on her own. She needs help. All donations will cover the costs of the surgery and anything that may come after. Recovery will be long, so she also needs financial support post-surgery as she will be out of work for a while.
I appreciate anyone who has taken the time to read this and hope that if you are unable to donate, you can share her story.
