My name is Sandra, and I never imagined I would be in a position where I needed to ask for help like this. I’ve taken care of myself since I was 14 years old.

I have recently been diagnosed with brain cancer, and my life has quickly shifted from normal routines to constant doctor visits, treatments, and focusing every bit of my energy on fighting this illness. While I am determined to stay strong and positive, the financial strain that comes with cancer is overwhelming.

Over the past few years, I was already facing financial hardship. I haven’t been able to work for nearly two years due to COVID and the actor and writer strikes that severely impacted the film and television industry here in California. During that time, I was also dealing with significant veterinary medical bills for my pets. Now, with cancer treatment, medications, travel to appointments, and everyday living expenses, the costs are adding up faster than I can manage.

Beyond the physical and emotional toll, the stress of worrying about how to pay for everything has become an additional burden during an already incredibly difficult time.

I am starting this GoFundMe to ask for support during this chapter of my life so I can focus on what truly matters — healing, staying strong, and getting through treatment.

The funds raised will go toward:

• Medical bills and treatment costs

• Medications and supportive care

• Transportation to and from appointments

• Rent and living expenses while I am unable to work

• Basic needs as I recover and regain strength

• A burial plot

Any donation, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference for me. If you are unable to give, sharing this fundraiser with others would mean just as much.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, prayers, and support during this fight. I am incredibly grateful to have caring people around me as I take on this battle. If I survive this, I will pay it forward by volunteering my time to organizations who need help.

With love and hope,

Sandra
