About this fundraiser

My name is Diana and I never imagined I would be creating a crowdfunding page. But life has taken an unexpected turn, and I’m now facing one of the biggest battles of my life. I have been diagnosed with breast cancer and my treatment plan includes chemotherapy, radiation, and ongoing medical care that will continue for up to a year.

Because of the intensity of the treatment, I have been unable to work at my normal capacity, also needing to take care of my 3 year old, and the expenses have already begun to build up. I am humbly reaching out for help as I try to focus on healing.

How the Funds Will Be Used

Your generosity will directly support my medical care and essential expenses during treatment. My goal is to raise $25,000, which will be allocated in the following ways:

1. Medical Bills – Approximately $15,000

This includes:

    •    Chemotherapy sessions

    •    Radiation treatments

    •    Specialist appointments

    •    Necessary scans and labs

    •    Medication and supportive care

Even with insurance, the out-of-pocket costs are overwhelming.

2. Treatment-Related Expenses – Approximately $6,000

These are costs directly tied to receiving care, such as:

    •    Transportation to and from treatments

    •    Medical supplies and supportive therapies

    •    Nutritional needs related to treatment side effects

3. Living Expenses During Recovery – Approximately $4,000

With limited ability to work, these funds will help cover:

    •    childcare 

    •    Basic necessities

4. Emergency & Contingency Funds – Approximately $0–$2,000

Cancer treatment is unpredictable, and this small remainder helps cover any unexpected medical needs or complications.

Why Your Support Matters

Every donation—no matter the amount—helps lift a huge burden from my shoulders. It allows me to focus my energy on getting through chemo, radiation, and recovery instead of worrying about finances. Your kindness and generosity mean more than words can express.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page is equally appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for supporting me in this journey toward healing.
