Let’s Support Avianca in her Fight Against Cancer!!

Avianca finished 2023 on a high. A promotion at work, just purchased her first home, a bright future ahead of her. That all came crashing down in Jan-24 with the discovery of a lump in her breast, and an aggressive cancer diagnosis at age 33.

The diagnosis has set Avianca's world into a spin. Her career is on hold as she navigates her treatment plan. Her last few weeks have been a blur of appointments, needles and tests.

Alongside her chemo there is a drug called Pertuzumab which specifically targets the different proteins causing HER2-positive breast cancer. This drug will increase her chances of being cancer free after treatment. It costs $25k and unfortunately this is not funded for her.

The chemo she starts on March 1st will leave her infertile. Of all the things breast cancer will demand of her, this is the hardest and absolutely heartbreaking. To have the best chance possible of having a baby in the future Avianca needs to proceed with a non-funded egg retrieval at a cost of $13k.

Cancer is Avianca's reality now.

As friends & colleagues we wish to alleviate financial pressures and would be grateful for any gesture of support. Your generosity, love, kindness & prayers will make a meaningful difference in Avianca's future and the fight that is ahead.
