Whew! In under a week we have raised almost $10,000 toward our initial goal of $20,000. Already, donations from this fundraiser have helped us put in an automatic door lock so Sala can open and lock the front door from bed while she recovers, fix the windows to allow for more privacy in the recovery room, clean the house during the recovery period and more! Cancer has so many unanticipated costs, and yet our spirits remain high. Just yesterday, Sala walked outside for the first time since surgery and we visited with family. Despite intense pain, she feels better and better every day — and your care and support are vital to that healing. We aren’t posting on public social media accounts, but if you can share this fundraiser with at least one person or private group who might be willing to give, it would mean the world to us. Thank you again! More updates to come!

Our shining star, Sala, has been on a life changing journey with stage 3, triple positive, grade 3 breast cancer. In just 2 months, Sala will turn 50 — will you help us raise $30,000 to help her celebrate, heal, & fight on? Since April 2026, my sister Sala has met 8 rounds of chemo, multiple hospitalizations, and two surgeries with the kind of bad ass bravery and humor her friends and family have come to know and love. Throughout it all, Sala has also continued to work at Vision, Change, Win, and her community has been rocking it with her every step of the way! Despite the support of her friends, family and her incredible VCW team, the journey has been both exhausting and expensive, and come with many twists and turns. One such twist is that though we hoped for Pathological Complete Response (ie: cancer-free), cancer had other plans and it looks like Sala may require additional systemic treatment. On January 13 Sala turns 50! No matter what we plan to turn up, but we need your help! We hope to raise at least $20,000 to mitigate the cost of previous and additional treatment, support recovery at this new milestone, and to host the kind of celebration Sala deserves! Will you help with a gift of any size? Look out for the party invite, cause whether or not you can make a financial gift, we are so incredibly grateful for your deep and profound care and want to see you there. Organizing put Left, Black, feminist, third world, LGBTQ, and working class power back on the table through the 2026 mid-terms — but power, like cancer, is tricky. That’s why we need Sala and each one of you healthy and leading — cause being in office is not enough, we need real power. Let’s get our sister back on these streets and with her family and political home at Malcolm X Grassroots Movement where we will be, as we have always been, right by her side.
