Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!

My name is Trinity Orosco, I'm a sophmore in high school with a love of theatre and sports. I chose to do this campaign in honor of my grandmother. I spent every summer and weekened at my grandmothers house and she often picked me up from school. As mentioned in the video above, my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017. I found myself after school in the hospital day after day, night after night. Even my 14th birthday was spent in the hospital. Cafeteria workers and nurses soon became very familiar with my face. In 2018 she beat it, or so we thought, she spent months in rehab then, after an agonizing year, went back home. Her time at home was unfortunately short lasted when she went to a doctors apointement for a checkup, they found that the cancer had not actually gone, but had spread to her lungs. My world collided at the sound of those words. In 2019 she spent yet another year in the hospital, we had again been told that it was finally gone, so she left for rehab. Her last day at rehab was suposed to be a happy moment but it was instead the moment we found out it had spread to her brain. She was rushed to the hospital, where she would have so many seizures to the point where the doctors had to put her into a medically induced coma, a coma that she would not wake up from. The doctors told us she didn't have much time left, to which i had to say goodbye to her. I watched the person i talked with almost everyday suffer for three years, and I couldn't even get a proper goodbye. On October 5, 2019 at 5:35, my grandmother, my rock, passed away. I watched cancer very slowly, very painfully take away a person who i cared for deeply, ever since i've been advocating against cancer. I will never let cancer win. This is why i need your help. Every dollar goes toward the funding for reserach to find a cure and put a stop to cancer. Please, no one should ever have to suffer from cancer, nor grieve the life of someone who did.
