Adiana is a courageous and hardworking woman from Haiti who is struggling with breast cancer. She was unable to attend school because of her parents’ economic situation, but has made a living for herself and her daughter by starting her own business as a tradeswoman.
Adiana emptied her bank account to pay for surgery and a round of chemotherapy, which made a significant dent on her cancer. But now she needs radiation treatment, and she has nothing left.
“All I wish is to be definitively cured from this cancer in order to resume my activities,” Adiana told our medical partner. “I can’t even cook, because every time I try to lift something I can’t do it because I feel weak and it hurts my muscles from my hands. I do not sleep well. Sometimes I say my life is over.”
Radiation, which costs $1,500, will reduce her chances of recurrence significantly and put her back on a path toward health. Most important, this treatment will improve Adiana’s quality of life significantly. Let’s help her win this fight!
