Ezti is bravely fighting her cancer but needs help
Donation protected
Hi my name is Michelle and I am fundraising for one of my co-workers, Ezti, who works with me at the veterinary clinic that I work at.
Ezti is a beautiful 29-year-old single mom to a sweet little 3-year-old girl that has worked with me for the past five years. Ezti started feeling poorly about year ago and was advocating for herself as best as she could with her doctor, who told her she had asthma with no diagnostics confirming this or any other issues that may be going on at the beginning of this year. Throughout this year, she has progressively gotten worse with her respiratory symptoms and she had been seen countless times trying to get her symptoms under control. Sadly she has had crucial diagnostic tests rescheduled several times due to varying reasons given by the medical facility that she had to have the testing done at.
Last Friday, August 18th, Ezti ended up in the ER with difficulty breathing. It was found that she had a collapsed lung and fluid in her chest. She had 2 1/2 liters of fluid drained from her chest and was sent home where her lung collapsed again. She returned to the ER Monday and they drained another 3 liters from her chest, placed a chest tube and set her up to get the CT that she has literally waited months to have done. Long story short, with finally having the diagnostics done, as well as the fluid that was in her chest sent out for cytology, Ezti has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.
With expenses that have occurred throughout this year due to her illness and the impending expenses that she will have as she fights this cancer, we are imploring any sort of assistance that can be done to help this beautiful girl and her sweet daughter. Part of these funds will go towards her current medical expenses and childcare with the other part going into a trust account for Ezti and her daughter's future care and expenses.
