Support Renata's Fight Against Cancer

Meet Renata.

She’s a devoted mother, loving wife, and the heart of our family.

For over 10 years, Renata has been a house cleaner for families across our community. But to her clients, she became so much more than that — a calming presence, a helping hand, and someone who brought light and warmth into their homes.

Renata came to the U.S. from Poland in search of a better life, fleeing economic hardship and limited opportunity. She faced even more financial struggle here — but she never gave up. She poured everything into her work to support her family and help others live more peacefully in their homes.

Recently, our world was turned upside down: Renata was diagnosed with cancer.

She has already endured a week-long hospital stay — a bill not covered by her insurance. She now faces:

• 3 rounds of chemotherapy before surgery
• A major cancer-related surgery
• At least 5 additional rounds of chemotherapy afterward

These treatments are urgent and expensive — and without help, the financial burden is crushing.

We are raising $125,000 to help cover:

✔️ Her uncovered hospital stay
✔️ Chemotherapy treatments (before and after surgery)
✔️ Surgery costs
✔️ Post-surgery care and medications
✔️ Transportation and recovery expenses
✔️ Lost income during her healing process

Renata is optimistic about her treatment — she’s staying strong and determined to return to the work she loves. She plans to get back on her feet and back to her clients as soon as she’s able.

But right now, she needs us.

If Renata has ever touched your life — if she’s ever made your home feel lighter or your day feel easier — we ask that you give what you can. Even the smallest donation makes a difference.

If you can’t give, please share this campaign. That alone helps more than you know.

We’ll be sharing updates and photos as Renata goes through treatment so you can follow her journey and see the impact of your generosity.

Thank you for being part of her support system.
