This is a call for help!

Our dear friend Dola has been seeking treatment on the mainland for an infection in her neck that turned out to be cancer!! She has been diagnosed with Small Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Her prognosis is good as it was caught early but as she awaits results from yet another round of expensive tests her Doctors have laid out her treatment options and as such she will need to undergo various rounds of chemotherapy. With all the tests and treatments the cost far outweighs what she is able to pay on her own so this is where we come in. 
She needs our help. She needs her friends, her community, her village.

If you know her you know that she is incredibly hardworking, strong, smart, caring, generous but above all else loving. The love she has for her family and her dogs is incomparable! Though she doesn’t have children of her own she is very close with her nieces and nephews as well as grand nieces and grand nephews. She feeds every dog or cat she finds on the road and has been known to adopt every dog in her neighborhood that decides they like her home best. Beyond that she always supports the children not only in her neighborhood in Sandy Bay but also in West End and her native Oakridge. She lends a hand whenever she is needed. So it’s only fair that we return the favor now that she needs it for herself.

Please, will you help her fight for her life? She would do it for you! And your dog!

No donation is too small as it all adds up and every little bit counts but larger donations help get the bills paid that much quicker! So please give what you can and help her put this all behind her so she can live a long, happy and healthy life.

Hello friends,


I’ve been putting off doing this update because it’s not the news I was expecting to share.

Dola (and the rest of us, especially me) was expecting to be done with treatment and ready to return home and get back to work. It was all we were focused on. Well she finished her treatments in October and had her scans done in early November.

Her results came back abnormal. So they did more tests. Sadly, she has to do more immunotherapy as well as 23 more radiation treatments! The doctors say that her prognosis is good and we’re all still trying to stay positive but this just feels like a punch in the gut. We have to wait and see what it all looks like after she completes these treatments. She is choosing to remain positive and she’s actively taking care of herself, y’all know how much chemo damages the body so she’s keeping her dentist appointments and working on keeping her body as strong as possible so these treatments don’t sideline her more than necessary and she can still live life. 
That being said, she needs more support.
Please be sure to check in with her, and if you’re able make another donation. She never expected to be sidelined this long, the restaurant has been closed since September and with no funds coming in from anywhere things are very tight for the family. 
This year has been very hard on this family so please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you everyone for your support; and if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Hey everyone!

Dola has completed her second round of chemo and is focusing on staying healthy and active while she continues to receive treatment in Tegucigalpa. 
So far everything is moving right along as expected and aside from feeling rundown from the chemo she is in good spirits. 
We are all so grateful for all the support and love she has been receiving throughout this life altering  diagnosis and process. 
We appreciate you all so much.

Thank you so much for everything ♥️
