Vannessa is an amazing friend and truly a light in every room. She’s compassionate, funny, loving, and always there for those around her. Vannessa is only 35 years old and has her whole life ahead of her. On Sunday, she began experiencing excruciating pain on her side and was rushed to the hospital. After a series of tests, doctors discovered tumors in her liver and internal bleeding. An MRI revealed 14 tumors, with one being the size of an orange. While we are still waiting for the biopsy results, the doctors believe the tumors are cancerous. Vannessa is still in a lot of pain, and the uncertainty has been incredibly difficult for her and everyone who cares about her. On top of this frightening health situation, Vannessa is facing significant financial hardship. She is hospitalized for the foreseeable future and unable to work, which means she is struggling to cover her medical bills, medicines, and basic living expenses. The stress of not knowing how she will manage financially is adding to an already overwhelming time. We are reaching out to ask for your support. Every little bit helps—if you can find it in your heart to donate whatever you can, it will make a real difference for Vannessa. She has always been the first to help anyone in need, and now she needs our help more than ever. If you’re unable to donate, we ask that you keep Vannessa in your prayers and share her story. Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
