Help Elisa Fight Breast Cancer

Elisa's Story
Just 2 months after her 30th birthday, my sister, Elisa, discovered a firm, marble-size lump in her right breast. She went to the doctor and after a battery of tests was delivered devastating news that has shocked family and friends. She was diagnosed with an aggressive and rare breast cancer: Triple Negative Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. During this short period of time, the cancer has already spread to her lymph nodes.
The last few weeks Elisa has been attending many appointments with oncologists, surgeons, genetics doctors, and fertility specialists, having frequent blood work, multiple scans and biopsies, etc. She has started chemotherapy which is scheduled to last for 20 weeks followed by surgery and then radiation.
Elisa is a preschool teacher in our hometown, a job that she absolutely loves, but due to her immune system being compromised by chemotherapy, she has had to take a leave of absence.
My sister needs all of our love and support more than ever. The medical bills continue to add up so we are reaching out to our amazing network of family and friends to help in any shape or form.
The money raised will go towards:
Surgery and medical treatment costs (chemo, medications, surgical procedures, medical appointments, travel costs)
Procedures to help protect and preserve Elisa’s fertility from the harms and toxicity of chemotherapy
Bills and expenses that will add up while Elisa is out of work
Medical insurance premiums in order to keep her insurance while she cannot work
Wigs, head-wear, etc.
Unanticipated costs that will come along during this battle
Thank you for reading this and considering assisting with Elisa’s hard road ahead. We will appreciate any donation no matter the size.
