Help Mom of 3 with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer

Donation protected
Hello Friends and Family,

My name is Savannah.

Today, I reach out to you with a heavy heart and a plea for help for my family and mother, Gina Luongo. Recently, we received a devastating diagnosis that she has stage 4 metastatic pancreatic cancer, turning my whole family's world upside down. My mom has been the sole provider for our family-who consists of my eldest brother Devon, who is severely developmentally disabled, myself Savannah, and our youngest brother Christopher, who is only 7 years old.

Dealing with the emotional and physical toll of cancer is difficult enough. Still, the financial burden that comes with the cost of living, travel, chemotherapy, medical treatments, and medications, all of which are not covered by insurance, has added another layer of stress to our already devastating and challenging journey. We have no idea how long she will be out of work while fighting this battle.

My mom is not just a mother; she's the heart and soul of our family. A woman of strength, love, and boundless compassion, she has dedicated her life to raising three wonderful children and creating a warm, nurturing home for us all. Her smile has been our source of joy, and her unwavering support is our pillar of strength. She has touched the hearts of friends, coworkers, and the students she teaches, most of them referring to her as "School Mom."

We are reaching out to you, our extended family and friends in the hope that you can help us provide some relief for our family and my mom, Gina. The funds we seek will cover our living expenses, medical expenses, and ongoing treatments that are piling up faster than we can manage.

Your support can make a difference for us and my mother. Every share or donation, no matter how big or small, brings us one step closer to ensuring that she can focus on her health and well-being without worrying about financial strain.

Here's how you can help:
Donate: Any amount you can contribute will significantly impact my mother's journey. Click the "Donate" button to contribute directly to our medical and living expenses.
Share: Spread the word about Gina's story by sharing this campaign on social media, email, or through word of mouth. The more people who know, the greater the potential for assistance.
Pray and Send Positive Vibes: Your thoughts, prayers, and positive energy are invaluable. Knowing that a community of caring individuals stands with us provides immeasurable strength.

We are immensely grateful for your love and support during this challenging time. Your generosity will make a difference in my mom's life, knowing that her children will not have to worry.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Savannah and Family
