Hi, my name is Anthony Aranda.

If you know me, you know my world has always revolved around one person my MOM and my family. They are the reason I push forward every day!

I’ve always tried to be the strong one… the dependable one. But today, I’m in a position where I truly need help. Recently, my life changed in a way I never expected. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Melanoma cancer. Hearing those words didn’t just shake me physically… it shook me emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Stage 4 means the cancer has spread, and the fight in front of me is the hardest battle I’ve ever faced.

Since my diagnosis, life has become a constant cycle of:

Specialist appointments

Scans and MRIs

Treatments and medications

Physical exhaustion

Emotional highs and lows

I’m staying strong in faith and mindset, but the reality is… cancer doesn’t just attack your body it attacks your finances too.

Medical bills, treatment costs, time away from work, medications, travel to appointments it adds up faster than I ever imagined. That’s why I’m humbly asking for support.

Funds raised will go toward:

Life-saving treatments

Medical bills and scans

Medications not fully covered

Daily living expenses during treatment

Travel and recovery care

Every donation no matter the size helps take a little weight off my shoulders so I can focus on what matters most:

Fighting. Healing. Staying present with the people I love.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing my story means just as much. Visibility, prayers, and support all make a difference in this journey.

I’m holding onto faith, hope, and the strength of community.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, for your prayers, your generosity, and for standing beside me in this fight.

With gratitude,

Anthony
