Our beloved Joana was recently diagnosed with Ductal Carcinoma, a type of breast cancer that has led to the need for a mastectomy scheduled for April 24. As anyone who knows her can tell you, Joana is one of the most selfless, resilient, and loving people you’ll ever meet. She’s a single mom to three beautiful children, and she has faced life’s challenges with unmatched grace and strength.

This journey, however, is one she cannot walk alone.

While Joana focuses on her healing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—she will need to take time away from work, adding financial pressure to an already overwhelming situation. The goal of this fundraiser is to help relieve some of that stress, so she can prioritize rest, recovery, and being present for her children.

Every donation, no matter the size, is a reminder to Joana that she is not alone—that her community stands beside her. If you feel moved to give, know that your support will go directly toward covering medical bills, household expenses, and necessities for her and her children during this difficult time.

And just as important as financial help, we ask for your continued prayers, positive thoughts, and words of encouragement. Joana has always been there for others—this is our chance to be there for her.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of her village.
