Help The Rivera Family

Donation protected


Hi my name is Zsanett ,and I'm fundraising for my little Rivera Family.
I'm 46 years old ,living with my partner Diego Rivera, and our adorable 10 year old son William.
Unfortunately this is my story ,affecting my beautiful family. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 34.
I went through heavy chemotherapy, double mastectomy at age 35. I was told I won't be able to carry a child.Than a miracle happened, I got pregnant. I was 5 months pregnant when I got the dreaded stage 4 diagnosis,followed by a emergency surgery. William born preme but strong and healthy. 4 months later doctors removed my ovaries. After that I just went through many many different type of chemotherapys ,radiations,more surgeries, lost count really. The cancer was mainly in my bones,and lymph nodes.Than it start to pop up in the lungs ,and slowly traveled to further organs, liver ,adrenal glands, brain.
12 years of chemo , countless painful days and nights do to side affects and thousands of pills later,I went through hell and back.Recently I find out my brain is bleeding do to edema. I stopped all treatments . I'm at hospice care at home right now.The main goal is to keep me comfortable, and as much is possible pain free.
I have less than 6 months to live.
Our life is upside down for awhile but we managed somehow with one income. We didn't asked for anything from anyone. But to be honest, we need all the help we can get .Its very difficult to get help at home with William or house work, because our family's are  fare away. The reality is that we are scared what's next, my son will lose his mom,and i don't know what else to do but let down my guard,my ego , try to ask for help, so maybe we together can help to ease the upcoming months burden for the two most important people in my life. The saying is true,it takes a village to raise a child. I'm fundraising for monthly bills,car payments, rent, food,school. And when times comes babysitter.Every little helps,and we are appreciate all the help from the bottom of our hearts!Please help!!!♥️
