Pay for Sara's funeral arrangements
Donation protected
Update: Unfortunately, Sara passed away surrounded by her loved ones on January 6, 2025.
Two days before Thanksgiving, my 40-year-old niece, Sara Cardenas, was diagnosed with metastatic stage 4 colon cancer. Before treatment was able to begin, Sara developed blood clots, and one traveled to her brain, causing a stroke which led to emergency brain surgery. While recovering from the stroke/brain surgery, she developed HIT, which means she immediately had to be taken off all blood thinners, which developed into a severe GI bleed. Due to her hemoglobin and blood platelet levels being critically low, she has been receiving blood and platelet transfusions almost daily.
Sara is a wife, mother of 2, and a special education teacher at Nitro High School. All of the financial burden is on her husband due to the fact she didn’t have short or long-term disability, causing her husband to use almost all of his sick leave and personal days to help care for Sara.
100% of the funds received will be donated to help with medical and finances. If you are unable to donate, prayer is the most important thing right now.
Thank you and God Bless.
