<div>Hi, my name is Johanna.
</div>
<div>I’m 41 years old, still feeling young at heart, married, and a proud mom of 4 beautiful children—ages 22, 17, 7, and 4. I was born and raised in El Paso, TX, and right now, I’m fighting one of the toughest battles of my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have stage 4 pleomorphic liposarcoma, a very rare and aggressive cancer. I’ve been receiving chemotherapy, which thankfully has helped with some of the tumors in my body. However, the tumor on my left shoulder has continued to grow, and chemo is no longer helping it. Because of this, my oncologist at MD Anderson in Houston has decided to stop chemo and begin radiation treatment directly on my shoulder.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This means I will need to stay in Houston for 3 weeks to receive radiation Monday through Friday, resting on weekends. After this treatment, I’ll return home to recover for 4–6 weeks, and then I’ll need to go back to Houston for surgery to remove the tumor. A plastic surgeon will also work with my team to help reconstruct the area where the tumor is removed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am reaching out for help to cover the costs of lodging, food, and transportation while I’m away from home. If I am not able to stay at the Hope Lodge, I will need to pay for a hotel. Some hotels do not provide shuttle service, so I may also need to pay for Uber rides back and forth to MD Anderson for my appointments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How donations will help:
</div>
<div>•	Lodging if Hope Lodge is unavailable
</div>
<div>•	Meals while away from home ️
</div>
<div>•	Transportation to and from MD Anderson
</div>
<div>•	Travel back to Houston for surgery ✈️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This journey has been very hard, but I’m holding on to hope and to my faith. If you are able to help by donating, I would be deeply grateful. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing my story so that it can reach others who may be able to help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness, generosity, and prayers. May God bless you.
</div>
<div> Every prayer, every share, every donation is a blessing. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me keep fighting. 
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div>Hola, mi nombre es Johanna.
</div>
<div>Tengo 41 años, aún me siento joven de corazón, estoy casada y soy mamá orgullosa de 4 hermosos hijos —de 22, 17, 7 y 4 años. Nací y crecí en El Paso, TX, y en este momento estoy luchando una de las batallas más difíciles de mi vida.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tengo liposarcoma pleomórfico en etapa 4, un cáncer muy raro y agresivo. He estado recibiendo quimioterapia, la cual gracias a Dios ha ayudado con algunos de los tumores en mi cuerpo. Sin embargo, el tumor que tengo en el hombro izquierdo ha seguido creciendo y la quimioterapia ya no lo está controlando. Por esta razón, mi oncólogo en MD Anderson en Houston ha decidido detener la quimioterapia y comenzar radiación directamente en mi hombro.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Esto significa que tendré que permanecer en Houston por 3 semanas para recibir radiación de lunes a viernes, descansando los fines de semana. Después de este tratamiento, regresaré a casa a recuperarme de 4 a 6 semanas, y luego tendré que volver a Houston para una cirugía para remover el tumor. Un cirujano plástico también trabajará con mi equipo médico para reconstruir el área donde se removerá el tumor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Estoy pidiendo ayuda para cubrir los gastos de hospedaje, comida y transporte mientras estoy lejos de mi hogar. Si no logro quedarme en Hope Lodge, tendré que pagar un hotel. Algunos hoteles no ofrecen transporte, por lo que también tendría que pagar Uber para ir y regresar de mis citas en MD Anderson.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cómo ayudará tu donación:
</div>
<div>• Hospedaje en caso de que Hope Lodge no esté disponible
</div>
<div>• Comidas mientras esté fuera de casa ️
</div>
<div>• Transporte hacia y desde MD Anderson
</div>
<div>• Viaje de regreso a Houston para la cirugía ✈️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Este camino ha sido muy duro, pero sigo aferrándome a la esperanza y a mi fe. Si puedes ayudarme con una donación, te estaré profundamente agradecida. Y si no puedes donar, por favor ayúdame compartiendo mi historia para que pueda llegar a más personas que quizás puedan apoyarme.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>De todo corazón, gracias por tu bondad, generosidad y oraciones. Que Dios te bendiga. Cada oración, cada compartida, cada donación es una bendición.
</div>
<div> Desde lo más profundo de mi corazón, gracias por ayudarme a seguir luchando. 
</div>
