The person who has always helped others now needs a helping hand.
Tereza has spent much of her life being the person who steps forward when others need help. She is a wife, mother, daughter, friend and a woman who has always cared deeply for those around her.
Today, we are asking her community to stand beside her.
Earlier this year, Tereza's life changed when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Since then, she has faced a difficult journey filled with challenging decisions, emotional moments and the physical demands of treatment.
Tereza underwent a double mastectomy and began chemotherapy. There have been exhausting days, difficult side effects, fear and uncertainty, but through it all she has continued forward with remarkable courage and determination.
Now, we have reached an unexpected and frightening obstacle.
Tereza's available medical funds have been exhausted, but her treatment is not yet complete.
She still needs four rounds of Taxane chemotherapy and three weeks of daily radiation therapy as part of her treatment plan.
Our goal is to raise R350,000 to help Tereza complete the treatment she needs and continue receiving the medical care and support required along the way.
Funds raised will assist with:
Four Taxane chemotherapy treatments, including medication, infusion costs, oncology support and treatment-related requirements.
Three weeks of radiation therapy, including planning, consultations and daily treatment sessions.
Medical support, including blood tests, medication, consultations and other treatment-related expenses.
Medical scans, including a PET scan, related medication, consultations and any additional scans required during treatment.
Asking for help does not come easily to Tereza and her family. They have always tried to face challenges together and find solutions wherever possible.
But cancer brings not only a physical battle, it also carries an enormous emotional and financial burden.
Today, they are allowing their community to walk alongside them.
Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a difference. If you are unable to contribute financially, sharing Tereza's story can also help reach someone who can.
Please help us give Tereza the opportunity to complete her treatment.
