Dear friends, family, and kind strangers,

My name is Sierra Dawson and I’m raising funds for my beautiful mother, Zina, who has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. This news has shaken our family to the core. The cancer has spread to her liver, lungs, bones, and brain. Despite the gravity of her diagnosis, we are praying and standing in faith for strength, peace, and comfort.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18.

She will have her port placed early June; and is expected to start radiation and chemotherapy mid June if they still see a benefit. The doctors said there is no cure. She is a woman of deep faith, courage, and love. Even with the heavy news, she still smiles, whispers prayers, and thanks God for another day. She raised us with strength and kindness, and now it’s our turn to walk beside her every step of the way. We’re asking for your help to cover:

Medical expenses not covered by insurance

Transportation and caregiver needs

Comfort items and equipment for home care

Living support for our family during this crisis

Any amount you give is a blessing. Whether you’re able to donate or simply share this page, you are part of our community and our prayers.
