Dear colleagues and friends,it’s me, MICHELLE LEOCADIO. I am 37 years old, one of your chef in Tavern, supporting my partner, our kids and my parents. They are my fight and what keeps me going. As you guys know me, I am a hardworking, generous and a jolly person. I am independent and used to do everything for the people I love most. Please understand that it is a challenge for me to put my personal business out there today and to finally ask for help. Since January 2026 I have been experiencing an unbearable pain on my right breast til I seek medical help and was advised to do ultrasounds and biopsy. February 10, 2026 the doctor break the most heartbreaking news, I was diagnosed with BREAST CANCER STAGE 3. Specifically INVASIVE DUCTAL CARCINOMA PROVISIONAL GRADE 3 with Right Axillary Lymph Node. This coming March 9 and 10 I need to do PET scan and Bone Scan to check for any spread of the cancer cells on other parts of my body. My treatment will include Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and Surgery that cost around 2.5 million in philippine peso. I am asking for your support, no matter how small. If you are able to donate, it would mean a lot to me and my family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and generosity. God bless us all.
