Help Monica as she fights cancer

Donation protected
Update 8/4/23:
Monica’s cancer responded very well to the first round of chemo & radiation. It shrunk the tumor and we were told she won’t need surgery — great news! However, her PET scan showed there’s still some cancer cells remaining and her oncologist advised she do a second, more aggressive round of chemo to kill anything left. She started the chemo and unfortunately had a bad reaction to it, and is waiting for her body to stabilize before proceeding with the regimen. While we’re not out of the woods yet, we have faith this next round is going to get rid of it for good.

Please continue to keep her in your prayers. Finances are an ongoing challenge — we are still hoping to meet our goal and greatly appreciate any donations.

My name is Nadia and my sister Monica was diagnosed with colorectal cancer on November 28, 2022 at the age of 40. During the hardest year of our lives with the sudden passing of our father in March 2022, we were shocked and shattered to be faced with another life-altering challenge.

Monica has successfully completed 28 rounds of radiation and a month of chemotherapy treatment, in hopes of shrinking the tumor in her body to where her colorectal surgeon can successfully remove it. Her initial scans hinted that the tumor may have possibly spread to nearby organs, however we were told we can’t know for sure until they perform surgery. We are currently waiting for results from her scan after completing treatment, for doctors to assess next steps. We hope and pray with every fiber of our being for a promising result.

The symptoms of the cancer, radiation, and chemo have left Monica weak and in severe pain and discomfort. She is not able to work because of the hard fight her body is enduring, in addition to endless medical appointments to continually monitor her condition. We have medical bills covered at this time, but are in need of support for living expenses until she is well enough to work again. I am asking for donations at this time to help her pay mortgage and household bills.

Any donation helps and would mean the world to us. Prayers and positive wishes are also appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read our story.
