Support Sandra's Courageous Cancer Journey
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Rhythm, and I’m raising funds on behalf of my mother, Sandra, who was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in June 2023. Since then, she has been fighting with extraordinary strength, resilience, and a kick-ass positive attitude. After several rounds of chemotherapy, along with other treatments, medications, holistic practices, and prayer, we are grateful to say that so far, she is winning this battle!
For those who know Sandra, you know she is a force of nature. She lights up every room she enters with her infectious energy. Her compassion for others and her commitment to uplift and encourage-especially our youth- is a rare treasure. She faces life with the heart of a lion, always courageous in the face of adversity. Now, she’s channeling that same spirit into her fight against cancer.
Although Sandra has health insurance, as many of you know, the costs of cancer treatment can quickly become overwhelming. Even with insurance, the medical bills keep piling up, from ongoing scans and tests to additional treatments that are critical for her continued fight. My stepmom, Sandra’s wife, has been her primary caregiver, and our family’s resources are running thin.
As we face an uncertain future with more medical expenses ahead, we are turning to our community for help. Every donation, no matter how small, will go a long way in easing the financial burden on our family, allowing us to focus on what really matters—Sandra’s recovery and well-being.
We understand that times are tough for everyone right now, and there are many worthy causes that need support. If you’re able donate, we would be eternally grateful. Your generosity means the world to us, and it brings us one step closer to ensuring Sandra gets the care she needs to keep fighting.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, love, and kindness!
