About this fundraiser

My name is Vanessa Pena, and I never imagined I would be facing something this serious. I have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, a life-changing condition that has turned my world upside down.

The diagnosis came after weeks of pain, fatigue, and medical testing. Doctors have confirmed that the cancer requires immediate and aggressive treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, and ongoing medication. While I am determined to fight with everything I have, the reality is that this journey is not only physically and emotionally exhausting—but also financially overwhelming.

So far, my treatment plan includes:

  • Surgery to remove the tumor
  • Multiple rounds of chemotherapy
  • Prescription medications and follow-up care
  • Regular hospital visits, scans, and lab tests

The total estimated cost of my treatment is over $25,000, and it may continue to rise depending on how my body responds. Unfortunately, I do not have sufficient insurance coverage to handle these expenses on my own.

At the moment, my condition has made it difficult to work consistently, which means I am also struggling to cover basic living expenses like rent, food, and transportation to medical appointments.

I am asking for your help during this critical time. Your donation will go directly toward:

  • Medical bills and treatment costs
  • Medications and recovery support
  • Daily living expenses while I am unable to work

Every contribution, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to recovery. If you are unable to donate, sharing this campaign would mean just as much to me.

I am holding onto hope, staying strong, and fighting every single day. Thank you for your kindness, support, and for being part of my journey.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Vanessa Pena
