Help for Patty Sandoval with her health crisis

Donation protected
Patty Sandoval is the most caring, loving, compassionate woman, mother, friend and nurse you could ever know! A Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP) at Los Angeles County/Martin Luther King Child Abuse and Neglect Clinic, Patty provides care to at-risk children and families, human trafficking victims and forensic evaluations. Patty has dedicated her fifteen (15) year nursing career to caring for underserved children in Los Angeles County initially as a Registered Nurse in the Pediatric Emergency Department at Los Angeles County/Harbor UCLA Medical Center where the patients, families and staff all came to adore her.  Patty found her calling in life early on in ER and upon graduating from UCLA School of Nursing as a PNP, Patty transferred to the Violence Intervention Program at Los Angeles County/ University of Southern California Medical Center and began her career as a forensic nurse practitioner!  

As a teen mom growing up in Compton, Patty was determined to provide her children with a safe environment, loving home and educational opportunities.
Now a single mother, Patty is sole provider to her three beautiful children, Sujey, Fabian and Yaretzi.  In March 2019 Patty developed severe incapacitating back pain and was diagnosed with metastatic bone cancer. Multiple surgeries later and a current prolonged hospitalization of more than three months with multiple complications, Patty has depleted her savings, her accrued sick and vacation time and is in need of financial assistance to continue providing for her family. The road ahead will be long and challenging with eventual chemotherapy and radiation treatments as well as physical therapy to simply be able to walk again. Patty has all intentions of retuning to her PNP position to continue her mission to care for the underserved children and families and provide for her own family!  In the meantime, this Go Fund Me page is an avenue to help Patty and her family with whatever they need during this difficult time. Please keep Patty and her children in your thoughts and prayers
