Story

Created for Debbie Caquias who has heroically been battling several different forms of cancer since 2007. Countless extensive surgeries and radiation has left her severely disfigured - most visible on her face but all over her body, as well. After her most recent surgery she has since contracted MRSA while in the hospital - another battle to be fought.

The hard facts are that Debbie hasn't had food or drink for 3 1/2 years now; she is peg fed liquid into her stomach and 'feels' hungry all the time. Her daughters will never hear their mother's beautiful voice, as she will never speak again; the last surgery removed most of her tongue down to her esophagus plus most of her cheek. She can no longer blink or smile due to nerve damage from the surgeries. When she is able to muster the courage and strength to go out, she endures people staring at her.

As you can imagine, this has taken a great toll on Debbie and her family - her husband Sam and their two young daughters. Debbie is the bravest, most selfless, positive, kind, caring person we know - always concerned about others above herself. She continues to be fight and be positive that at least she is alive. We need to help her with this fight.

We hope to be able to get Debbie the IMMUNOTHERAPY TREATMENT that could possibly save her life.

We are also sharing Debbie's story with the hope that someone with the skills and experience dealing with traumatic nerve facial reconstruction may come forward to help her repair what the cancer has taken from her... her smile, her face, her confidence!
