We just wanted to take this time to let our friends and family know that Zoya has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and will be facing a very difficult and long road to recovery. We want to thank everyone for thier thoughts and prayers and continued support.
On this Mother's Day, unlike no other, I sit here and reminisce about what my mom means to me and all the sacrifices she has made for me to have had a secure and safe childhood despite all the obstacles. She single handedly changed our lives for the better future she has always dreamed by moving to Canada. She provided a whole new world of opportunities not only for herself but for me as well. She has given me a future I could only dream of. It breaks my heart to say that my mom has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and now she has to endure another obstacle like this in her life is devastating! Everyone that have met my mom know that she has the biggest heart around and that she would do anything for anyone in need. She is my rock, my heart, my everything. In my heart I know that this is something we can beat together so that she can live a long happy life along side her family and friends. Unfortunately, many of you know that many treatments for this disease are not cheep and so we kindly ask you to reach into your hearts to help my mom to get better! Even if you can't spare any money we ask you that you spare a moment and share this post so we can reach all of her friends.
Thank you for taking time and reading this message and thank you for all the love and support we have received during the beginning of her brave journey!

I would love for you all to read this next part that came from a few close friends who wanted to share a few words as well.
Compassionate Plea For Our Dear Friend Zoya
What started off as a relationship between a client and a massage therapist, soon blossomed into a friendship near and dear to our heart. Anybody who has had the opportunity to know Zoya can attest to the fact that she is a warm, kind-hearted and nurturing human being who will unconditionally go above and beyond to help others.
She has impacted many with her quirky sense of humor and her positive attitude no matter how bleek the situation. “True strength is when you have a lot to cry about, but you choose to smile and take another step forward instead” – Anonymous. This is Zoya.
If you know anyone with any form of cancer you can only imagine the state of shock when a single mother of an only child learns her fate of stage 4 lung cancer. Despite this life altering diagnosis, our beautiful friend Zoya continued to work as a massage therapist until today to make ends meet while experiencing extreme levels of pain, fatigue and weakness. But it has come to a point where her body is suffering too much and now she has to start the long way of chemo treatment and all that comes with it while the rent, bills and medical expenses need to be paid.
Over the years, Zoya has become like a big sister to us and we are reaching out to all of you on her behalf to help raise money so that she can seek treatment for her condition. In spite of the many problems and issues in this world, we truly believe that when a miracle is needed by wishing hard enough, it can come true. At this point, any amount helps!!! We want our big sister to get the best care and all the help she can get. She has lived a very hard life and no matter what obstacles she has had to endure, Zoya picks herself up and continues doing the best she can while continuing to help others along the way despite her own grief. She deserves to live! She has so much yet to accomplish!
