Help Dorothy Fight Bile Duct Cancer

Dory is a light in the lives of all who meet her. Now, she needs your help as she undergoes treatment for bile duct cancer.

Update: It has been 18 months since Dory’s initial diagnosis in September of 2023. In May 2024, her doctors found that the cancer progressed to Stage Four. Dory, as well as her family, have fought relentlessly to keep her healthy and create options for Dory to live a full and happy life for as long as possible.

Over the past 14 months, Dory and Dawn have faced numerous challenges, including the financial difficulties associated with caring for a loved one’s long term illness. Additionally, unforeseen circumstances are now requiring Dory to relocate out of state and establish a new system of care, with Dawn as her only in-person support.

Dory underwent surgery in which doctors removed 30% of her liver via bisection, has completed two rounds of chemotherapy, has suffered numerous hospitalizations related to failed immunotherapy, and is now starting a third round of chemotherapy with the goal of ensuring she will be able to visit her home in the Philippines to reunite with her family.

We are so grateful for your donations last year. Your contribution have allowed us to continue to provide for Dory’s care and quality of life. Further, your outpouring of support has been a blessing that has deeply moved and humbled us.

At this time, Dory and her family are in need of renewed financial support in order to assist with the cost of relocation and continue her care.

Thank you in advance for your generous donations to help support Dory's living and medical costs throughout her cancer treatment.
