Support Trina’s Breast Cancer Journey!

Aloha everybody! Last year, as most of you know, my brother-in-law was dealing with some serious health-related issues. He is on the up and up and only getting better with his recovery, but this year took a nasty turn for my sister Trina… In February, she was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma, a form of breast cancer. Testing showed that her body was producing these cancer cells at a rapid rate, so a treatment plan was set into place urgently.

She had a successful lumpectomy not even two weeks after her diagnosis, and she has knocked out 12 rounds of chemo and immunotherapy. She will now face radiation treatments over the span of a few weeks. Unfortunately, with us being in Tracy, there are no nearby facilities where she can receive this part of her treatment. She will be having to travel to Modesto a few times a week. Along with the stress of travel, she will soon have to pay her and Tony’s medical benefits out of pocket.

I am humbly asking for any donations to help my sister with her travel and medical fees. She has kicked ass so far and she should not have to worry about how she will afford the last leg of her treatment journey.  She’s been the rock of our family and I want her to have some peace of mind during this hard time.

Family and friends—you have been so kind and awesome along this journey. We appreciate all the kind words of support and encouragement, the visits, phone calls and texts. It truly means the world to her and our ohana.

If you would rather donate directly to her, she does have a Venmo under @thebentolady.

Thank you for reading and thank you in advance!
