Lorena Silvas Family

Donation protected




The holidays are meant to be a joyful time spent with loved ones.

In loving memory of Lorena Silvas, a resilient soul who battled lyomyosarcoma with unwavering strength, we come together to support her family in their time of need. Lorena was not just a fighter against cancer; she was a devoted mother, a cherished friend, and a pillar of strength for those around her.

Her journey was marked by courage, determination, and a smile that could light up even the darkest moments. Lorena touched the lives of many, leaving an indelible mark of love and resilience. Despite the challenges of her illness, she remained a source of inspiration to everyone privileged to know her.

Unfortunately, our dear friend Karinna Silvas is facing a very difficult holiday season. She just lost her mother, Lorena, after a three-year battle with Lyomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer.

Despite countless hospital visits for chemotherapy, radiation, surgeries, and experimental trials, Lorena was not able to win her fight against cancer. Her family did everything they could to care for her increasingly fragile medical condition. They spent the last several years balancing doctors' appointments, administering complicated medications, and following detailed doctor recommendations with everything else daily life demands of us.

As Lorena's illness progressed, the medical expenses continued to grow. Her husband worked overtime to try to keep up. Her two daughters took breaks from school and work to care for the household and their weakened mother. But it wasn't enough.

Now, after years of watching Lorena fight cancer, her family must face the emotional and financial hardship of planning a funeral to honor this strong, beautiful woman.

This GoFundMe campaign has been established to provide hope amidst a painful time for the Silvas family. Your contributions will go directly toward funeral expenses for Lorena, as well as assist the family in paying off the incurred medical and household expenses.

No donation is too small. Any amount will make a significant impact on helping this grieving family move forward. Your thoughts, prayers, and messages of support are invaluable and deeply appreciated during this difficult time.

Please help us by offering your support to those she leaves behind. Your generosity will ensure that her family can focus on healing and remembering the beautiful moments they shared with a woman whose spirit will forever shine in their hearts.  

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of people when they need it the most.
