Mel's battle against BreastCancer & medical bills
Donation protected
Hey there, I'm Malyza, Melissa Calderon's daughter. If you're from around New Braunfels, Texas, you probably already know my mom. She's the one always ready for a game of softball or kickball, and the one whose laughter is as bright as our Texas sun. She's a proud mom to two remarkable boys on the spectrum and, well, me!
This year, we faced some tough news: my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. As you can imagine, it hit us hard. The road to recovery involves not only the physical toll of surgery and chemotherapy but also the emotional and mental weight of this battle.
That's why we're turning to you, our community, for help. The funds we're seeking to raise will go directly toward the costs of my mom's upcoming breast cancer surgery and subsequent reconstruction. These medical procedures are critical for her recovery, but they come with a hefty price tag that can be overwhelming.
We've always been a family that values the power of unity and togetherness. Now, we're reaching out, hoping that same sense of community can help us through these challenging times. Every contribution, big or small, brings us a step closer to helping my mom regain her health and her life.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any help you can provide. The generosity and kindness of people like you make the world a better place. And believe me, it means everything to us right now. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
