When life is cruel, lets help....

Donation protected
Hello All,

This fundraiser has been set up to help our loved one Joanna Gomes-Almodobar. She is a loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend and so much more. As you may know Joanna has always been a private person. Unfortunately, she will need financial and spiritual help as she goes through treatments for Breast Cancer; so I am reaching out to you on GoFundMe. Jobee and I have been inseparable friends since childhood, and I know first-hand that she is always willing to help others without asking for anything in return. All the monies raised with this fundraiser will go directly to Joanna to help alleviate the unexpected financial burdens and worries that will undoubtedly be coming her way as she goes through chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

About one year ago, Joanna received the shocking news that she had a brain tumor which required a life-saving craniotomy. She moved from Nantucket back to Hyannis to be closer to her daughter, elderly parents, and her doctors located in Boston. This past year has been very challenging for her with the lengthy healing process from her brain surgery. Joanna had a great reason to celebrate life at her one-year anniversary of being tumor free. Instead of being able to celebrate she received the horrible news that she has breast cancer. How can life
be this unfair..


Joanna’s Cancer Care Team is at Mass General Hospital in Boston and has determined the best course of action for her health is to start chemotherapy immediately. She had the chemo port surgically placed this week and she will start chemotherapy at Nantucket Cottage Hospital next week. This will be the beginning of a long journey of chemo, surgery, and radiation.

Joanna has always been a hard worker and has worked with great people at The Club at New Seabury, Nantucket Golf Club and currently Marine Home Center in the Accounting department. Once again, she has had to stop working. My hope is this GoFundMe fundraiser will be successful to help ease the stressful difficulties with traveling for treatments, doctor appointments in Boston and Nantucket, being out of work, moving expenses, and many other unexpected costs. Any amount of donation, well wishes, and prayers will be greatly appreciated. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this GoFundMe so we can help Joanna focus on healing and beating cancer.
