Story
Danille Chea, better known as Dani, is one of a kind. If you’ve ever had the opportunity to spend time with her, you know exactly what we mean. She’s kind, generous, and spends the majority of her time helping others. In addition to being the most dutiful mom, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin and friend, Dani has also spent her entire career in healthcare, taking care of her patients and colleagues. Unfortunately, on New Years Day in 2023, she got the worst news of her life. After Danille developed severe abdominal pains, it was later confirmed to be Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer. The news was devastating to her and her family, who were still grieving the loss of their grandmother just a month before. While the diagnosis drastically changed her life, you would never be able to tell. She remains passionate, strong, and continues to provide for her family. Dani is determined to fight this, but that doesn't mean she should have to do it alone! We remain steadfastly by her side. She beat it once before, and we know she will beat it again. On January 20th, 2023, Dani bravely began her chemotherapy treatments against this aggressive cancer that riddled her with excruciating pain. Dani underwent major surgery on April 10th, the day before her 35th birthday, which was hugely successful and helped her beat the cancer a few months later! She battled this disease for 8 months with fervor and high spirits -- thanks to all of you and your constant support! On July 17th, 2023, Dani rang the bell!! With a new lease on life, Dani celebrated her triumph over ovarian cancer by living her life to the fullest. She jumped back into work full time (she was working during her treatments too!) and made sure to never miss a milestone moment with her family and friends. Dani and Josie welcomed new nieces and nephews, new relatives, and new homes. She watched her daughter, Lorie, graduate 8th grade and begin high school. They're talking about colleges now! For her 36th birthday, which also served as the one-year anniversary of her lifesaving surgery, childhood friends from overseas pooled together funds to buy flights for her, her husband, Josie, and Lorie so they could meet them in Paris and share in the celebration of her victory. They even got to meet their favorite Brazilian singer, Anitta, backstage at her concert!! Everything was on the up and up, until Dani began experiencing pain in her lungs around the end of April 2024. Since then, the trips to the hospital and all the struggles that come with them have become routine once again. After months of complications and invasive tests, Dani's worst fears were realized: the cancer is back. Despite this, Dani's spirits are high and she is ready to fight again. She is back in the game, and we hope you will join #TeamDani and support her through this battle! Her journey continues to be long, arduous, painful, and financially taxing on us. While this weighs heavily on our hearts and minds, your love and words of encouragement have such an incredible impact on Dani and her recovery. All well wishes and any donations to support Dani’s medical expenses, treatment, day-to-day essentials, and extended care would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
