Let's help Fabiola beat Stage IV Breast Cancer
Donation protected
Hi – my name is Alyssa Goldberg and I’m raising funds for my dear friend Fabiola Melillo. Fabiola is a 30 year old wife to Giuseppe (Joe) and mother of two beautiful young children Antonio who is four and Massimo who is two years old. Just before Christmas, she was told she had invasive breast carcinoma, discovered through a biopsy. Soon after hearing this devastating news she learned it has spread from her breast to her neck lymph nodes, and hips. Due to the metastatic state as stage IV Breast Cancer, Fabiola will have to be on treatment for the rest of her life. This news is absolutely shattering to her and her young family. Together we have been through so much and although life has thrown us several curve balls, this is not something we anticipated having to face in our lives, at least not yet while we are still so young.
- Fabiola is such a strong woman and has already been fighting hard for her life. She will be starting her treatment at Yale in New Haven at the end of January. She is determined more than ever to beat this with the guidance of her doctors, and with costly alternative therapies that unfortunately are not covered by insurance. She cannot afford to take short term disability and although she would never ask herself, her family would greatly appreciate any financial assistance to help them with the burden of healthcare and integrative therapies. I know she and her family will get through this, but in the meantime the last thing they should be concerned about is her medical bills. She is the type of person who will pay it forward to someone else when she is able to.
