Ellie Obando’s cancer journey
Today, we are celebrating Ellie, showering her with love on her birthday! Here is an update from our girl:
First and foremost, Ellie wanted to pass along a huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone. She has been wanting to express just how much your generosity, prayers, and encouraging messages mean to her, but finding the time and energy between treatments has been tough. Please know that your incredible support is lifting her up every single day.
In Ellie’s Own Words:
August 19th Update:
"I’m starting to feel the effects of the chemo this week. My hands and feet are all tingly and super dry. It feels like the neuropathy is slowly starting to kick in. But besides that, I think I’m doing okay."

Ellie continues to fight with so much resilience and grace. A huge part of what keeps her going is Ashton. Knowing she has Ashton by her side and such an incredible community rallying behind them both makes all the difference.
Let’s fill the comments today with birthday wishes, love, and prayers for Ellie! Thank you all for continuing to stand by her side through every step of this fight.
I will try my best to update more often. I really appreciate all of you. Ellie is a dear friend, and it means a lot to me that you've taken the time to send her a special note and contribute to this fund.
Love, Kerry
