Tina's Stand Against Stage 4 Breast Cancer

Donation protected
Dear All,


Tina, 39 y/o, mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. We are raising money for our beloved sister, Tina, who was diagnosed with Stage IV triple-negative-breast-cancer (TNBC) in December 2019. She received devastating news that she has the most aggressive form of breast cancer, to which it is extremely difficult to treat. Her cancer has rapidly metastasized to her spine, pelvis, femurs, ribs, and liver.


Tina began chemotherapy treatment for cancer again in December and has undergone several surgeries. After 8 months of weekly chemotherapy treatments, the cancer started to progress and metastasize. Tina underwent further testing and scans with her oncologist and doctor to determine a different chemotherapy. Tina has been experiencing pain and various side effects for her treatments. In October, Tina started radiation to several areas of her body in hopes to decrease her pain. 


Despite the pain and side effects that she has lived with on a daily basis, Tina has continued to be a supportive and loving mother to her 2 boys and wife to her husband. 


Our hopes are to continue to raise money for her ongoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments, clinical trials, and medical expenses, which unfortunately, are quite expensive. We would like to do all that we can to alleviate the financial burden placed on her and her family.


We have had several requests from family, friends, and acquaintances asking how they can help, and we are hoping this can provide these individuals with a chance to give back to her.


Tina is a mother of two little boys and is married to her husband Tony, whom mean the world to her. Tina is known for being strong, compassionate, caring, and funny. Family means everything to her! It is not Tina’s nature to ask anyone for help, as she is constantly caring for others.


I invite you to contribute and support Tina through any amount put on your heart. Please share this page on social media to help Tina during this crucial time. We also ask your deepest prayers. We are hoping Tina goes on to live a long happy and healthy life. Please feel free to comment as to how Tina has been an inspiration or had an impact on you.


We thank you for your love and support.
