Evelyn's Breast Cancer Journey
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Natalia. I am setting up this fundraiser for my sister Evelyn. She was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer HER2-positive around June of 2022. Even then, she has a high recovery rate, which we are very hopeful about. However, we know this will be a long journey, requiring not just chemo, but also full double mastectomy and reconstructive surgeries.
She has had two chemo sessions so far, which have been rough on her body, but her attitude and focus on God are keeping her strong. We pray that she is able to maintain that mindset throughout the rest of her sessions and further down the line with her surgeries. Meanwhile, her support group is a major source of strength, inspiration, motivation, and hope. Our attitude and help makes up an inmense contribution to her recovery. If we are positive and encouraging, she reflects that as well. So far, we have been attending appointments with her, doing fun activities, providing meals and items that are helpful during and after chemo including medicines that may not be covered by insurance to aleviate stress and some financial burden. But there are a lot of therapies and treatments that will not be covered by insurance that we may have more difficulty helping out with.
Evelyn is currently working but for limited stretches of time, so her finances will definitely be affected. This is the reason I have created this GoFundMe for her, because I know a lot of friends and family are asking how they can donate, and this is an easy way to set up a fund to contribute.
Thank you so much for your love and support for Evelyn.
We pray you are blessed ten fold in return!
With love and inmense gratitude,
Natalia and Family
