Support Vanessa Restrepo's Battle with Cancer

**Help a Single Mom Fight Cancer and Support Her Family**

Hello everyone,

My name is Patti Guarino, and I’m reaching out to you with a heavy heart, seeking help for a courageous woman, Vanessa Restrepo, who is facing one of the toughest battles anyone could imagine. She is a dedicated single mother of two young children, ages 9 and 4, living in Bergenfield, NJ. And she happens to be the amazing mother of my son’s best friend.

Recently, Vanessa was diagnosed with breast cancer. The road ahead will be long and difficult, not just because of the physical and emotional challenges she’ll face, but also because of the financial burden that cancer treatment brings. Though Vanessa works tirelessly as a Lyft driver to support her family, her income is simply not enough to cover the high costs of the medical treatments she so desperately needs.

As if fighting cancer wasn't hard enough, Vanessa is also learning English, as Spanish is her first language. She’s doing everything she can to improve her future, but right now, her primary focus is on getting better for the sake of her children, who depend on her every day.

This is where we come in. I am asking for your kindness and generosity to help raise the funds she needs for her cancer treatment. All of the money raised through this campaign will go directly towards her medical expenses. No amount is too small — every donation makes a difference.

We all know how expensive medical care can be, and for someone working hard just to make ends meet, the financial strain can be overwhelming. With your support, we can ease some of that burden and give Vanessa the chance to focus on healing, spending precious time with her children, and rebuilding her life.

Please share this campaign with your family and friends. Your compassion and support can make a huge impact on Vanessa and her kids. Let’s help them take one step closer to a brighter, healthier future.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With gratitude,

Patricia Guarino
