Help Toy On Her Quest To Heal Breast Cancer

Donation protected
Creative tour-de-force Toy Holmes has been in the business of bringing joy and light to everything she touches for decades. The award-winning voiceover artist (“Black Girls Rock!”) and singer-songwriter is known for all the compassion and generosity she extends in every area of her life. 

Now, she is sending out a call for help in her time of need.

On September 24, 2019, Toy was diagnosed with Stage 2 Triple Negative breast cancer--an aggressive form of cancer that disproportionately affects Black and Latina women. After experiencing a lack of urgency, empathy, and options from the medical professionals she encountered in the US, it became clear to Toy that a dramatically different approach to healing was in order. She began searching for professionals who shared her personal philosophy on healing, and honor her desires and choices.

“I want to be treated in a place where I am seen as a whole entire human, with feelings, emotions, with a life, with dreams and not just a number, and not just a statistic…another one. I could be the first one to do something different. So, I’m going to Spain. I found a doctor who was able to look at my cells and tell me all the imbalances that were going on in my body that created the cancer—something nobody else was able to do.”


Toy has connected with Dr. Raymond Hilu, a world-renowned physician and scientist featured in a popular documentary, The Truth About Cancer. At Clinica Hilu, in Marbella, Spain he has treated many like Toy, using cutting edge diagnostic tools and non-toxic therapies to treat chronic and rare degenerative diseases. For cancer patients in particular, he believes that the trauma of fighting cancer can be very discouraging and one needs to treat the person as a whole as "the body is not separate from the mind and the heart". He even requires that all staff members are trained in patient-care supportive counseling.


Now, we have the opportunity to make sure Toy gets the support she needs to heal on her terms. Watch her video here and contribute any amount you can. Donations will go directly to cost of treatment, with any monies exceeding the goal being put toward travel lodging and expenses for Toy during the treatment, which is slated to begin on February 24th. Time is of the essence for the next leg of Toy’s healing journey. Let’s help get her to Spain and on the road to complete and total healing and recovery at Clinica Hilu. (www.clinicahilu.com)

 “I’m the person who likes to give to everyone else, but I realize I don’t know how to receive it. So I think this is probably a good time for me to be human and open my arms to receive the love I try to give.”
