Help Wanda beat stage three cancer
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Jonathan Santiago. I am 21 years old and my mom, Wanda Santiago has been suffering from cancer for about two years. Our goal is to raise $50,000 dollars to be able to send her to CHIPSA Hospital located in Tijuana, Mexico.
My mother is the strongest person I know. Her entire life has been nothing but an uphill battle. She has been a single Mom for over fifteen years. She is a victim of epilepsy and has been dealing with this condition since childbirth, having seizures at least five to ten times a day. Wanda underwent brain surgery to limit this issue, which did help the extensive amount of seizures she had. But sadly, two years ago, my mother was diagnosed with Colon cancer. The doctors were able to remove the Colon cancer successfully, but throughout the course of the two years it eventually spread to different parts of her body including her lungs and brain. Given the harsh circumstances, Wanda needed to finally retire from working. Since then it’s now up to me and other members of the family to support the household bills, etc.
Wanda’s battle has been never ending and she needs treatment as soon as possible to ensure the cancer in her brain and lungs don’t spread any more than it already has. Her current chemotherapy treatment ends in January, so we are striving to get her in this hospital around that time. We have spent over $260K for surgeries, chemotherapy and other sorts of treatments and can no longer afford these colossal hospital bills. We are asking for donations to help cover the cost to send Wanda to the hospital and the treatments the facility will be providing. Any donation amount would be greatly appreciated.
CHIPSA has been the leading center for alternative cancer treatments for the last 40 years. This hospital offers a number of treatments that are only available in Mexico. CHIPSA is an in-patient hospital that focuses on a more natural route to curing cancer. Here, they would be providing a more comprehensive level of care. The kind of care that my mother so desperately needs.
