EDIT: What started as a fundraiser for a typical surgery has snowballed into a fundraiser for a brain tumor. It was an incidental finding that has now changed Renatas entire world. Fortunately, it was found, so i guess thats the good news.

Renata has always been the person who gives without asking for anything in return. She’s touched countless lives in quiet, meaningful ways. I’ve witnessed her kindness firsthand, and I know how much she means to those around her.

Recently, Renata underwent 2 major surgeries—the first being throat surgery to help her be able to swallow due to a paralyzed vocal chord. While undergoing treatment of the vocal chord surgery, an MRI revealed a brain tumor.

The 2nd surgery being a hysterectomy and tumor (uterine) removal—that was supposed to bring relief. Instead, she faced a series of unexpected complications, including endometriosis and other serious issues.

Her recovery from the hysterectomy has been much harder than anyone anticipated. She’s in constant pain, having bleeding for twice as long than is typical, and she’s unable to work or care for herself. Even simple tasks like walking are difficult for her. I've been by her side providing the necessary care. She asks for your help and support during her time of need.

All donations will go directly toward Renata’s medications, medical and post-op bills, living expenses, and the many in-between costs that have piled up. She is struggling to keep up with the financial burden of this unexpected situation. Renata is far too humble to ask for help herself, which is why I’m reaching out on her behalf. Without your support, she won’t be able to pay her mounting bills or focus on healing. If you’re able to give, even a little, it will make a real difference for someone who’s always put others first.
