Help Silvana Stage 3A Cancer!

My best friend, Silvana Deurbrouck, lost her first kidney to cancer in March of 2020. This past month they’ve discovered a growth in her remaining kidney, and she now needs surgery to partially remove the remaining organ. She needs this surgery immediately and she will have to undergo several expensive treatments and a long recovery period. We are raising money to help lighten the load of these expensive procedures and support her family. We are very hopeful and excited that with this care she will be 100% again! 

Silvana is an amazing, hardworking Mum to her twin girls, Serena and Lucia. She is a jewelry afficionado and the friendliest customer service representative in the world, but unfortunately will not be able to work at her store, Danielson’s Jewelers, while she is in recovery. Nor will she have the strength to provide for her kids and doggos during this time! She is in need of financial help along with emotional support during all of this. Silvana has always been such a caring a nurturing person helping people all day (pavlovas and coconut soup for days!) and now it’s time for us to give her some love and support back. Silvana is ready to take this fight head on and would appreciate your support big or small.

My name is Emily Papel, Silvana is my very best friend in the world, and your support goes directly to her family. Please do reach out to me if you have any questions! Pictured are Sil (in the pink hat) and myself at the Women’s March in 2017!
