Support Ilene’s Cancer Healing Journey

Donation protected
Hello everyone, we're Alexis and Nate, and we're launching this fundraiser to support our mom, Ilene. In February, she received the heart-breaking diagnosis of Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, affecting her chest, lungs, stomach, liver, and her bone marrow. She’s undergone 4 rounds of chemo, with recent scans showing progress, though she still faces battles in her stomach and 45% in her bone marrow. Our mom has always been so loving, selfless, and always prioritizing her children but now she needs to prioritize her own health. The financial strain from medical bills, rent, and caring for our younger brother who’s only 5 years old has added to the weight of her journey, especially after she had to go on disability. Witnessing our beloved mom endure this journey has been heart-wrenching for our family. 

We've created this GoFundMe to alleviate the financial burden so she can focus on healing, free from the stress of finances. We're reaching out to our extended family, friends, and kind-hearted strangers who can contribute or share this campaign. Thank you for your support, and for those who've already contributed. Her battle is our battle.
