Rayna's Fight Breast Cancer Fund

On a cold January evening back in 1984 my first born daughter came into this world. She has brought much joy and happiness to my life ever since but especially on September 6th,  2016, when she gave birth to her 1st child. A beautiful baby girl named Rowan. Shortly thereafter on  November 18th , 2016 while just begining to enjoy her life as a new mother. She received a phone call that no woman should ever have to hear. Rayna  was diagnosed with breast cancer, completely turning her beautiful little world upside down.

More specifically, Rayna was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma. A 5cm (2") tumor had formed in her right breast during her pregnancy. This specific type of cancer, is known as a triple negative cancer which is fast spreading and more difficult to treat than other types of breast cancers. Rayna has just gone through an intensive 2 month regiment of Chemotherapy and is about to begin an even more intensive 3 month regiment of Chemotherapy. If all goes well it will be  followed by some form of breast surgery that has yet to be determined and then radiation therapy. 

This is devastating and life changing news for any woman, not to mention a new mother raising an infant daughter. Rayna has had no choice but to leave her job while undergoing chemotherapy treatments as the side effects are unpredictable and often leave her fatigued, extremely sore and nausesous. Thus leaving her in a financial crisis. I am doing everything I can to support her but unfortunately it is not enough.

My daughter has a strong will to live and will never give up her fight to survive. She is motivated daily  by the smiling face of her little baby girl. I pray for her everyday and ask that everyone do the same so she may live a long, prosperous life and enjoy the joys of motherhood. 

 Myself, my family, my grand daughter, along with everyone that knows and loves her want and need her to win this fight! Help us to help her overcome this battle with breast cancer!

The small sacrifice of many can go a long way in helping. So Please I am reaching out to all who read this to find it in your heart to give anything you can to help her.  Any and every donation is greatly appreciated.

“Practice giving, and people will give to you. . . . With the measure that you are measuring out, they will measure out to you in return.”—Luke 6:38.

I thank you in advance for your help.

All donations will go towards her medical and living expenses only (Co-pays, Deductibles & Uncovered medications) ( Rent & Utilities). Any and All funds that are in excess of these expenses will be gratefully donated to Breatcancer.org. 

Sincerely,
Ron Russo
