Help Astrid Battle Aggressive Thyroid Cancer

Please Help Astrid Fight Aggressive Thyroid Cancer

Astrid is a 30-year-old mother, wife, and a gifted bilingual speech and language therapist. She has spent her career helping children and young teens find and use their voice. Now, she needs our voices and our support to help her fight for her life.

Recently, Astrid received a devastating diagnosis: anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, one of the rarest and most aggressive forms of cancer. The diagnosis was shocking and sudden, turning her family’s life upside down overnight.

Despite the urgency and severity of her illness, Astrid remains determined and optimistic. Her love for her one-year-old son, her husband, and her community fuels her strength. She has survived many challenges in her young life, she is a fighter. But the road ahead is daunting and she and her husband cannot do this alone. The necessary treatment will be intensive, expensive, and fast-moving to outpace the cancer. Over the next several months, her days will be consumed with medical procedures, radiation five days a week, chemotherapy, and other targeted adjuvant therapies. She will be unable to work during treatment, and her husband will also have his hands full supporting Astrid and their toddler.

It will take a multifaceted and coordinated approach from the healthcare community and her close friends and family to mount the fight against this illness. Please consider donating to help Astrid as she has helped so many others. Any amount truly helps. If you’re unable to give, sharing this campaign is another powerful way to support Astrid and her family during this critical time.

What Your Support Will Help With:

Loss of income while Astrid is unable to work

Nourishing meals, healing therapies, and recovery costs

Advanced medical treatments not fully covered by insurance

Childcare and family support during treatment

Astrid has dedicated her life to giving others a voice. Now it’s our turn to speak up for her.

From the bottom of our hearts we thank you.

Ayudemos a Astrid a Luchar Contra un Cáncer de Tiroides Agresivo

Astrid es una madre de 30 años, esposa y una talentosa terapeuta del habla y lenguaje bilingüe. Ha dedicado su carrera a ayudar a niños y adolescentes a encontrar y usar su voz. Ahora, ella necesita de nuestras voces y nuestro apoyo para luchar por su vida.

Recientemente, Astrid recibió un diagnóstico devastador: carcinoma anaplásico de tiroides, una de las formas más raras y agresivas de cáncer. El diagnóstico fue impactante y repentino, cambiando la vida de su familia de la noche a la mañana.

A pesar de la urgencia y gravedad de su enfermedad, Astrid se mantiene decidida y optimista. Su amor por su hijo de un año, su esposo y su comunidad alimentan su fortaleza. Ha superado muchos desafíos en su vida y es una luchadora. Pero el camino que tiene por delante es difícil, y ella y su esposo no pueden enfrentarlo solos. El tratamiento necesario será intensivo, costoso y deberá avanzar rápidamente para ganarle al cáncer. En los próximos meses, sus días estarán llenos de procedimientos médicos, radiación cinco días a la semana, quimioterapia y otras terapias adyuvantes específicas. No podrá trabajar durante el tratamiento, y su esposo también estará completamente dedicado a cuidarla a ella y a su pequeño.

Será necesario un enfoque multifacético y coordinado entre la comunidad médica y sus seres queridos para enfrentar esta enfermedad. Por favor, considera hacer una donación para ayudar a Astrid, como ella ha ayudado a tantos otros. Cualquier aporte, por pequeño que sea, es de gran ayuda. Si no puedes donar, compartir esta campaña también es una manera poderosa de apoyar a Astrid y a su familia en este momento tan crítico.

Tu apoyo ayudará con:

Pérdida de ingresos mientras Astrid no pueda trabajar

Comidas nutritivas, terapias de sanación y costos de recuperación

Tratamientos médicos avanzados no cubiertos totalmente por el seguro

Cuidado infantil y apoyo familiar durante el tratamiento

Astrid ha dedicado su vida a darles una voz a los demás. Ahora es nuestro turno de alzar la voz por ella.

Desde el fondo de nuestros corazones, te damos las gracias.
