Help Melinda Ochoa Fight

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted individuals,

With hopeful hearts, we are choosing to share our story with you in hopes that you can help provide care, love, and prayers to our beloved Melinda Ochoa, as she battles a new diagnosis of Lymphoma.

Melinda went in on September 20th for complaints of flu-like symptoms. After frequent tests and diagnosis they were on the plan to treating her for a flu-related illness that would would require surgical removal of the fluid in her lungs. These symptoms were expected to be healed within a short time and she would be out of the hospital and on the road to recovery within 3-5 days. Unfortunately, after more tests and routine labs, it was later revealed on September 23rd, that her new diagnosis would be Lymphoma forming in and around her chest cavity.

Melinda is a wife to Alex and mother of 4 amazing children, Hayden, Blake, Savannah, and Ryder. The weight of this diagnosis has not only affected Melinda, but has also placed immense strain on her family. Melinda will be out of work for the foreseeable future as she battles this new diagnosis along with Alex, who will be providing full-time care to Melinda and their children.

Melinda has always been there for those around her. She's the one who has brightened our lives with her infectious laughter, and her warm, caring nature. She has touched countless hearts. Now, it's our turn to stand by her and her family's side and offer our support during this challenging time.

Lymphoma is relentless, not only in its physical toll but also in the financial burden it brings. Medical bills, treatments, and other associated costs are expected to be coming up in their near future and they will need the help. Every dollar donated will go towards relieving the financial stress on The Ochoa Family, allowing them to focus on what truly matters – supporting Melinda and her road to recovery.

Your donation, no matter the size, will be an invaluable contribution to Melinda, to help fight. Let's rally together as a community to support this courageous woman and her family. They need us now more than ever.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion, generosity and prayers during this difficult time.

With gratitude,

Betty and Lou Gonzales
