<div><strong>Note if you’re coming from TikTok:</strong>
</div>
<div>This is my only real GoFundMe. My original TikTok account was hacked. If you’re seeing this on a new page, yes — it’s still me. This campaign has been live since my diagnosis. The reason I’m still fundraising is simple: I’m not done fighting, and cancer is still costing me everything.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m 33. I have two kids. And I’m in the middle of fighting stage 3 thyroid cancer that has already spread to my lung.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Back in December 2024, I walked into what was supposed to be a routine surgery. I woke up with cancer — and a few weeks later, they told me it had already spread.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Since then, I’ve:</strong>
</div>
<div>•Had my thyroid removed
</div>
<div>•Started lifelong medication
</div>
<div>•Gone through radiation
</div>
<div>•Been in and out of ERs
</div>
<div>•Lost my energy, lost my income, and lost the life I used to have
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Let me be clear</strong>: I didn’t get time to prepare.I was running a business. Paying my bills. Taking care of my kids. Then cancer showed up, and everything stopped.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What Cancer Actually Took?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cancer didn’t just take my thyroid.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It took:
</div>
<div>•My ability to work full-time
</div>
<div>•My entire income
</div>
<div>•My ability to keep running the business that was supporting my household
</div>
<div>•My ability to be fully present with my kids, because some days I’m in too much pain or too sick to stand up
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve had to be a full-time patient, full-time mom, and somehow still try to hold life together — while not even having the energy to make it through the day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I had to shut down my business to survive treatment. Full stop.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And now I’m in the hardest part of this fight — where I’m still in treatment, still recovering, and still unable to work like I used to. I need time to rebuild my body, my strength, and my income — but bills and groceries don’t pause just because I’m sick.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Where the Money Has Gone?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I don’t play with money. I used every dollar the way it was meant to be used.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Earlier donations (along with partial insurance) helped me:
</div>
<div>•Cover surgery + radiation
</div>
<div>•Pay for emergency hospital visits I didn’t see coming
</div>
<div>•Afford the meds insurance didn’t cover
</div>
<div>•Pay rent and utilities during the months I couldn’t work
</div>
<div>•Keep food in my house and gas in the car to get to appointments
</div>
<div>•Buy basics for my kids so they didn’t feel the financial hit the way I did
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of that support, I’ve survived the first part of this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But this next part — this stretch of recovery, more scans, more meds, more bills — is where I still need help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why I’m Still Fundraising?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Yes, some of my treatment is covered.
</div>
<div>No, that doesn’t mean I’m okay.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I still have:
</div>
<div>•Ongoing medication
</div>
<div>•Regular lab work, scans, and co-pays
</div>
<div>•Surprise medical costs and hospital visits when things go left
</div>
<div>•A full year of recovery where I still can’t return to work full-time
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This isn’t just about “treatment.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s about keeping a stable home while I finish the fight — and having enough support to rebuild when my body is ready.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What Your Donation Helps With</strong>
</div>
<div>•$5 = covers daily basics like food or cleaning supplies
</div>
<div>•$10 = helps with prescriptions and co-pays
</div>
<div>•$25 = keeps the lights on or fills 1/2 my gas tank for appointments
</div>
<div>Anything more = helps me keep rent paid, meds covered, and gives me a chance to breathe and heal
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’ve ever wondered if $5 helps: it does.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’ve ever thought “someone else probably already gave”: you’re the someone now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can’t donate, sharing this is still powerful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Truth?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cancer didn’t just try to take my life. It tried to take my peace, my stability, my ability to care for my children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser is what’s keeping my head above water.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’ve helped before, thank you for getting me this far.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re seeing this for the first time, know this: your donation today keeps my family stable while I fight for my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you.
</div>
<div>— Demisha

<div>Hello everyone, I’m Sia and my boyfriend is Jarrel. <strong>Jarrel is an amputee who is braving the challenges of his great loss.</strong> Currently, Jarrel is battling chronic arthritis that has also caused him to have a knee replacement of his surviving left leg. Recently, he was also scheduled to have the bone shaved down on his right stump. This is causing issues with therapy to gain the ability to use his prosthetic leg. <strong>Healing time for the knee replacement and now the bone shaving can prolong the therapy process that is so very limited to just twice a week.</strong> Jarrel could benefit from more therapy sessions as well as mobility assistance. Jarrel uses a manual wheelchair, which is a great task while healing. The use of a motorized scooter and ramp while navigating outings and appointments would be of great help.

</div>
