Help Natalie in her Fight Against Cancer
Donation protected
Hello Everyone,
My name is Nicole Martinez. This is my sister Natalie Martinez, a talented 29 year old artist. As many of you may know by now, Natalie was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer in May 2023. In the span of 9 months she has underwent 12 rounds of chemotherapy as well as a major surgery that had removed 10 out of 11 tumors she had. After a difficult and lengthy recovery, Natalie was able to complete her first round of treatment in February of 2024 with hopes of being in remission. Unfortunately on June 17 , 2024, we were given the devastating news that Natalie's cancer has spread again with a total of 7 tumors now. Because of how aggressive and quickly it has spread in such a short amount of time, she will have to undergo a new type of chemotherapy with the possibility of being a candidate of any clinic trials that may benefit her health. As you may imagine, the financial toll of medical expenses, travel for therapy, and everyday expenses can be difficult to maintain in this situation. We kindly ask for any help to support Natalie and our family in this difficult time of need.
We sincerely thank you for any and all support,
The Martinez Family
Update:
Hi Everyone! This is Natalie. I have read all your messages and I am so so grateful for everyone’s prayers and kindness. To everyone who has made a donation, I cannot thank you enough. I’ll continue updating everyone as I go through treatment once again. The battle isn’t over but I know I’ll overcome this. Thank you again
