In April 2024, I was diagnosed with stage 3 nose and throat cancer. Since then, my life has been a whirlwind of surgeries, treatments, and uncertainty. I am currently undergoing my third round of chemotherapy and radiation, fighting every day to move closer to being cancer free. The physical and emotional toll has been immense, but I am determined to keep going for myself and my family.

The financial strain has made this journey even harder. Medical bills, dental costs, and medications not covered by insurance have piled up. I’ve gone from working full time to being completely off work, struggling to pay rent and keep up with basic expenses. The stress of these financial burdens often takes my focus away from my treatments and healing, making recovery even more challenging.

My only support comes from my children, brother, and sister, who have been by my side through every step. Reaching my fundraiser amount would allow me to focus on my cancer free journey, relieve some of the stress, and give me the chance to prioritize my treatments and recovery. Any help would mean the world to me and my family as we navigate this difficult time together.
