Dear Donors,

We are asking you to financially support the collection of our friend Iza, who is struggling with... breast cancer.

Iza is a volcano of energy - spontaneous, energetic, optimistic and full of empathy. Iza's kindness is almost inspiring - she shares everything she has in her life: time, love and commitment. In 2012, she contributed her efforts to help start a school for children in Ghana, Africa. A few years ago, she adopted a boy from this region - Kelvin, whom she is currently raising.

It's definitely hard to keep up with Iza - when she's not making the world better, she's hiking and mountain climbing. Her biggest dream is to win the World Crown. Knowing Iza, her energy, passions and dreams, it is difficult for us to see how much it costs her to give up certain activities in favor of treatment.

In Florida, she is a valued physical therapist, but the company that employs her does not provide her with sufficient medical insurance. Outside help is necessary to provide her with treatment, which is very expensive in the USA. Each donation will bring Iza closer to health and enable her to return to a life in which she derived satisfaction from the challenges she faced and infected us with her optimism. We will not let cancer win against our volcano of energy.
