Hi everyone,

My name is Alyssa Teixeira, and I’m writing this on behalf of my twin sister, Nicole Teixeira. We are 21 years old, and she is currently a student at the University of Central Florida.

Recently, she was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. At just 21, she should be focused on classes, friendships, graduation and building her future, not doctor visits and hospital stays.

If you know my sister, you know she is funny, kind, determined, and extremely smart. She has always shown up for her friends and family in every way and brightens everyone's day with her silly jokes.

Unfortunately, cancer brings more than just physical and emotional challenges. There will be medical bills, treatment costs, and time away from work, school, and her normal life.

We are raising funds to help cover: Treatment-related medical expenses and prescription medications that insurance won’t cover, hospital visits and follow-up care, transportation and travel costs, and daily living expenses while she focuses on healing.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. If you’re unable to give, sharing this page and keeping her in your thoughts and prayers means just as much. Thank you
