At the end of 2022, Yolanda was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells. Multiple Myeloma causes your bones to weaken. As Yolanda undergoes chemotherapy and continues her fight against cancer, an adjustable orthopedic bed is a necessity! Although some days are better than others, we are hopeful that with the right orthopedic bed, Yolanda will be as comfortable as she can - as this bed adjusts to her liking causing her the least amount of strain as possible.
Yolanda is a kind soul with a big heart - in which she puts others' needs before her own, makes sure everyone is taken care of, and loves teaching and helping children succeed. Regardless of how your paths have crossed, we can all agree on how selfless and caring Yolanda is. With this fundraiser, we are hoping to take a BIG weight off the shoulders of both Yolanda and her daughter Sami. All proceeds will go to their family, first and foremost to cover the cost of the orthopedic bed. Because Yolanda is taking time off work, all extra funds will be used by the Ramos family to cover bills, groceries, other items needed to help Yolanda, and basic necessities.
Yolanda and Sami did not ask for this, friends have come together to pay it forward for all the love and support they have given to others.
*Times are tough, I know people are financially suffering - if you can't help by donating to this fundraiser, please keep Yolanda in your thoughts and prayers!*
