A Little Bit About Our Story- Written with Love by Her Daughter

On September 21, 2024, our world changed completely—my mom, Yoli, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It was one of the hardest and most terrifying days of our lives. Learning about my mom’s diagnosis and treatment quickly became my second job. Advocating for her has become a role I take on with all my heart. 

My mom has always been the strongest, smartest, most hardworking, and bravest person I know. Even in the face of this unimaginable challenge, she continues to show resilience, strength, and unwavering positivity. She reminds me every single day just how strong a person can be. Her courage, grace, and determination in the face of adversity have shown me that strength isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, mental, and deeply rooted in love. Watching her navigate this journey has been a powerful reminder that mindset truly makes a difference. Her positivity and resilience continue to inspire everyone around her.

Throughout this journey, the love and support from our family and friends have been our anchor. Their kindness reminds us that we are not alone and gives us the strength to keep moving forward, no matter what life brings. We want to do this for Yoli—to honor her, to show her how deeply loved she is, and to stand in solidarity with other families walking a similar path.

Life isn’t always easy, but we’re learning to cherish the little moments, to embrace joy where we find it, and to spoil each other every single day.

Let’s show everyone impacted by pancreatic cancer that we’re fighting for them – thank you for your support!
