Their story


As many of you know, My mom had brain surgery a few months back and due to my parents and myself, paying out of pocket for alot if her homecare, medical supplies and bills for aides,  we had to create a fundraiser for her. Something unfortunately I had to do nut was hesitant. 

Well, im at that point again and I do this again as someone who really didn't want to do this for me but no real choice.

Again, life can change in an instant, and sometimes even the strongest people need a helping hand.

For those who know me, you know I've always been someone who worked hard, stayed active, and tried to be there for others. Today, I'm facing one of the biggest challenges of my life.

I've been battling Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL/SLL), a blood cancer that has required years of treatment, numerous hospital visits, and difficult decisions along the way. After going through multiple rounds of treatment, my journey recently brought me to CAR-T cell therapy, an advanced treatment that I underwent in October 2026 but began in September in the hope of fighting this disease and moving toward a healthier future.

While I'm grateful for the medical care and the opportunity to receive this treatment, the physical, emotional, and financial toll has been overwhelming.

My treatment and recovery have forced me to step away from work. With my income interrupted, everyday responsibilities haven't stopped. Medical expenses, prescriptions, insurance costs, household bills, and basic living expenses continue to add up while I focus on recovery.

I'm not someone who finds it easy to ask for help. I've spent much of my life working hard and taking pride in being independent. But right now, I need a little help getting through this difficult chapter.

I'm asking family, friends, and anyone who may be willing to help to consider making a donation. No amount is too small. Every contribution will go toward helping cover medical expenses, household bills, and essential living costs while I continue my treatment and recovery.

If you're unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with others would mean just as much.

Most importantly, I want to thank everyone who has reached out, offered encouragement, sent prayers, and stood by me throughout this journey. Your kindness and support have meant more than words can express.

My fight isn't over. I'm staying positive, continuing to fight, and looking forward to better days ahead.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me through this journey. ❤️
