Help Marie & her family as she battles cancer.

“Cancer Picked the Wrong Chica!” 


Green Person


 “A green person is the person who became a part of your life one day and saved you; that you know you cannot imagine life without. It's someone who just knows you and makes you feel understood. They hold such a special place in your life and heart and you could never replace them. You never want them to leave.”

 I am Kristy Ramos, & I have created this Gofundme on behalf of Marie De’Leon, her partner Zach Dillingham, & their 2 sons Noah & Makai. I’m a longtime friend of Marie & I really would like to help spread the word to help her family in this difficult time as she has had a very challenging few months dealing with stage 4 metastasic breast cancer.

 Marie is I one of my dearest & green friends & my soul sister. As long as I have known her since we met in 1995 back in our high school days as freshman, Marie just had that spark & everyone wanted to be her friend. I was the shyest 15 year old then but I remember when she came up to me & we just organically clicked together. I thought then & still now that she is the coolest person ever with such a beautiful heart. Marie is my green person in this life & she will be beyond this life.

 For people who are green they are known for their compassion, generosity, kindness, & trying to create harmony & peace around them. I believe anyone that Marie has met through the years can say that Marie has a heart of gold. She is loyal & when she loves you, she really is genuine with it & loves you hard. Marie’s love for her family is a beautiful sight to see as her mother, Maria, father Jacinto (JC), brother Jacinto Junior, sister Jeanie, & all of her beloved nieces & nephews can tell you. I can say with her family & closest friends Marie she is such a light with so much love to give with best smile & radiant heart. 

 My sweet friend, Marie, has been battling cancer since March of 2020 & these last few months unfortunately there have been many complications causing her to be in so much pain. She has stage 4 metastatic breast cancer & it spread to her bones last year. She was admitted to the hospital this past Thanksgiving & was just released a couple days ago due to a bad infection & newfound progression of cancer in her heart & sinuses. She is also dealing with losing her eyesight so that is difficult as well. Since being at home after her recent release from the hospital Marie will be resting as much she can at home as the pain she is going through has to be managed.


 I am hoping that the funds raised for Marie, her partner, Zach, & their 2 beautiful sons, Noah & Makai, will help the family take care of their monthly expenses & needs, & hospital bills for Marie. The donations will help ease their peace of mind as Marie heals, help them spend quality time together, & can live a good quality of life as Marie deserves to rest. 


 Donations in any form, big/small, all are appreciated to help my friend & her family in this difficult season. Every bit helps so we are so grateful for anything you feel in your heart to give. If you are unable to give at this time if you could please help share this fundraiser to help get the word out to as many people that would be greatly appreciated.


 If you prefer an alternative way to donate other than through GoFundMe you can donate directly to the family’s CashApp for the De’Leon & Dillangham family here: $fambamzero
