Nalleli vs Cancer

Donation protected

On January 15 2020, our lives took an unexpected turn. My 19 year old daughter Nalleli received a cancer diagnosis. Nalleli’s cancer is very rare and very aggressive. In addition to surgery, Nalleli will also need radiation and chemotherapy. 

Although, our family is devastated by this crushing diagnosis. We are also very grateful for the many people who have reached out in support, offering prayers, well wishes and emotional support. Nalleli is a brave young woman and she is ready to fight this battle. The projected cost of Nalleli’s cancer treatment far exceed our families budget, which is why we are humbly reaching out to our friends and family for support.

Our goal is to raise $50,000 to help cover my daughters medical expenses. Any help of any amount, will be greatly appreciated. 

In addition to being an amazing daughter, sister, aunt and friend Nalleli is also a freshman at Whittier College, a professional folkloric Mexican dancer and she loves makeup. 

Nalleli has been fighting for her community and for social and environmental justice in South Los Angeles since the age of nine. Although she faced her own health issues tied to environmental injustice at a young age, she continues her activism and Nalleli has been a pillar of the community for more than a decade. In many ways Nalleli’s long walk fighting for social and environmental justice has defined her life.

Nalleli has been the recipient of local, national, and international awards for her leadership. Some of these awards  include:  Agente de Cambio, Univision 2017, Local Hero, KCET 2018, Leader to Watch, Liberty Hill Foundation 2018, 100 Most Influential People in Climate Policy, Apolitical 2019. Nalleli is a co-founder of People Not Pozos, and a co-founder of the South Central Youth Leadership Coalition. She is also an active member of Stand Together Against Neighborhood Drilling, Los Angeles (STAND LA). 

As a mother this is a post and a plea that I wish, I never had to write. My family, my daughter and I humbly ask for your help. Thank You
