Support Kalena as she Battles Brain Tumor

In 2023, I began experiencing seizures which soon led to weakness on the right side of my body. After months of uncertainty, I was diagnosed in September 2024 with a rare and aggressive brain tumor called Ependymoma. The diagnosis was overwhelming for my family and me, and I had to undergo surgery right away. The tumor was found to be cancerous and fast growing, which meant I needed radiation treatment and regular MRI scans every six months to monitor my health. Despite the challenges, my family and I tried to stay hopeful. However, in April 2026, a routine MRI revealed a new tumor, and I had to have another urgent surgery. Soon, I will begin another round of radiation treatment. This journey has been incredibly hard—emotionally, physically, and financially. The costs of medical care and frequent travel for treatment have added up quickly, putting a strain on our family. We are reaching out for help to cover medical bills and travel expenses as we continue to fight this battle. Any support you can offer would mean the world to us and help ease some of the burdens we are facing. Thank you for being part of our journey and for considering a donation to support my recovery.
