Help Loren survive Stage 4 Ovarian and Cervical Cancer

Dear Friends,

I want to share the incredible journey of my dear friend Loren Lockwood, who embodies resilience and hope.

As a devoted single mother to her beautiful 19-year-old daughter Maude, who is on the autism spectrum, when Loren was diagnosed with three separate primary cancers in December 2021—stage 4 ovarian, stage 4 cervical, and breast cancer—Loren refused to let her circumstances define her. After a 5-hour surgery, chemotherapy, and a lumpectomy, she fought bravely and emerged victorious. In April of 2023 she underwent targeted radiation for a malignant lymph node that was left over from the chemo.

However, the battle reignited in December 2023, and Loren started chemotherapy in January. While she showed stability for a time, she is now facing some disease progression with new lesions in her liver and lymph nodes.

Two weeks ago, doctors informed her that the chemotherapy is no longer effective – she now has platinum resistant ovarian cancer.

We need help to ensure Loren can access all the care she needs and as soon as possible. The cancer is very aggressive and we must act faster than the cancer.

There is one new ACD (antibody drug conjugate), that Loren began this week, as well as a new integrative treatment protocol available that is only partially covered by insurance. Loren is committed to doing both to increase her chance to reach recovery

Loren's journey is about more than just her health. The bond between Loren and Maude is truly special—Maude has made incredible strides, evolving from a time of silence and difficulty into a wonderful young woman who expresses herself through alternative communication. Loren’s ongoing strength is critical for Maude's continued growth and independence.

Now is our chance to be heroes for Loren and Maude. Your support, no matter the amount, will make a difference in bringing Loren the treatment she urgently needs. Together, we can empower her to continue contributing her amazing gifts to this world and fostering an independent future for Maude.

We need to raise $150,000.00 for the treatment plan

Please consider contributing whatever you can and spreading the word. Share this message with 5-10 friends and post about it on social media to amplify our efforts.

We appreciate your support in helping this remarkable family during their time of need.

With love and gratitude,

Gwen Mihok Garcia
