Help JoAnn Fight Breast Cancer

Donation protected
Hello, my name is JoAnn Martinez. I'm 52 years old and upon receiving ultrasound results, I was diagnosed with breast cancer two days before Christmas 2024. This was very overwhelming and hard to process especially during the holidays when I'd normally be celebrating. Once I accepted that I have cancer, I chose to view this discovery as a BLESSING, MY CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM GOD because I'm now aware of this very life threatening illness and I can focus on getting the medical treatment needed. So then I began thanking God for this gift promising not to procrastinate and not to let my fear be stronger than my faith for I know HE is with me. On January 10th, I received biopsy results confirming that I have Invasive Mammary Carcinoma Breast Cancer stage 1 and it doesn't appear to have spread to my lymph nodes at this time. Due to genetics, I've made the extremely difficult decision to have a double mastectomy and reconstruction. Unfortunately, my insurance doesn't cover 100% therefore I'm asking for your help. It's very humbling for me to turn to others for donations but I must due to the severity and sense of urgency to remove the cancer before it progresses and spreads. If you find it in your hearts and are able to help by making a contribution, no words can express my gratitude and I thank you so much! ALL DONATIONS and PRAYERS are GREATLY appreciated. PLEASE SHARE THIS POST. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES.
