In January of 2025, I was diagnosed with stage 3 pancreatic cancer with lymph node involvement. The news was devastating, but I faced it head-on and underwent surgery to remove the tumor and two lymph nodes. After surgery, I started chemotherapy and completed 10 infusions, but unfortunately, the treatment was not effective. The cancer has now metastasized to my stomach, and I am experiencing a great deal of pain and uncertainty about the future.

Before my diagnosis, I worked as a full-time nurse, caring for others every day. Now, being on disability, I no longer have the financial means to pursue the holistic treatments that could improve my quality of life or to travel to see my family. I am also trying to plan ahead and cover my funeral expenses, which is a difficult but necessary step for me and my loved ones.

It is very hard for me to put myself out there and ask for help, as I have always been independent and self-sufficient. But I am at a point where I need support. Any money raised will go directly toward holistic treatments, travel to see my family, and funeral expenses. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference in my life, and I am deeply grateful for any support you can offer.
