Support Teresa's (Lilly) Battle Against Breast Cancer

Dear Friends and Supporters,

I am reaching out to share the story of an extraordinary woman, my sister, Teresa (Lilly to me:), who is facing one of life’s toughest challenges. Teresa is a devoted single mother of three and a compassionate special needs aide who has always put others before herself. Right now, she needs our help.

Teresa has been diagnosed with stage three breast cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy, with a double mastectomy surgery as part of her treatment and recovery. This journey will require her to be bedridden for six weeks, followed by careful healing for another month. Despite these challenges, Teresa remains hopeful of returning to her job in September when the school year begins.

Unfortunately, Teresa’s short-term disability benefits have run out after six months, leaving her in a difficult financial situation. She is now in urgent need of assistance to cover household bills and child care expenses for the next three months. This is where your support can make a real difference.

We are reaching out to kind-hearted individuals who may not know Teresa personally but believe in the power of community and compassion. Your donations, no matter the size, will help provide the financial relief she desperately needs during this difficult time. Together, we can help Teresa focus on her recovery and her children, rather than financial stress.

Thank you for considering supporting Teresa and her family. Your generosity will not only help ease their burden but will also remind them that they are not alone in this fight.

With sincere appreciation,

Milcah Valiente (Lilly’s big sister)
