Pitch in for Nicki & our family!

Rosalinda Martinez is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Nicki Hernandez.

Donation protected

My twenty-two year-old daughter Nicki has been diagnosed with a rare type of cancer called chordoma that is located on her spine, and as there are no specialists here in L.A., she will need treatment in Boston from surgeons at Massachusetts General Hospital. After more than five years of Nicki feeling pain leaving her unable to lie down comfortably, we learned that a large tumor was growing on her spine. While we know this is the treatment she needs, this will require us to travel more than four times to Boston for weeks of treatment for radiation and surgery. Since we will be missing work during this time, we need your support. Please consider making a donation to cover the costs of Nicki's treatment and travel, since we will be living in Boston for months throughout this year. Thank you for your consideration and support!
