Nora is a loving, devoted woman whose heart beats strongest for her family, especially her grandchildren. Just a few months ago, after years of effort and waiting, she arrived in the United States with the beautiful dream of starting a new chapter alongside her daughter Claudia and her beloved grandson Joaquín. Her happiness and gratitude for being surrounded by the people she loves most radiated in everything she did. Nothing could dim her light, until now.
Today, life has placed a tough battle in Nora’s path. She is facing an unexpected and serious medical diagnosis that has landed her in the hospital, and for a moment, that joyful spirit she always shared with others has gone quiet. Nora has always been the kind of grandmother figure to everyone, especially to those of us far from our own families. Now, she needs us.
But this isn’t just Nora’s fight. Her daughter Claudia—strong, compassionate, and endlessly generous—is carrying the weight of this moment with so much grace. Those who know her know that she gives her all. She’s a devoted mother, a loyal friend, a hard worker with two jobs, always ready to help others even when she’s struggling herself. And now, she’s the only support system for her family.
Unfortunately, even the strongest people need rest. Claudia hasn’t been able to work while staying by her mother’s side in the hospital, and the weight of it all is growing emotionally, physically, and financially.
As we all know, hospital bills in the U.S. are overwhelming. On top of that, there’s rent, utilities, groceries, the basic necessities that don’t pause for life’s hardest moments.
This is our chance to show Claudia and Nora that they are not alone. That there’s a community standing with them, just as they’ve stood with so many of us, lifting us up with kind words, thoughtful gestures, or simply their presence in times of sadness.
Let’s come together and give them a little relief in the middle of this storm. Anything you can give helps. Truly, every bit counts in this fight.
Thank you to everyone who can help and may the universe, God, or whatever you believe in return that kindness tenfold.
