Milly Sanchez Rios was diagnosed with a 4.5 centimeter brain tumor. After two long operations, they managed to remove only a part.

To continue her specialized radiation treatment she will have to travel to Emory in Atlanta. But she has no health insurance because she had only been at her job for a short time.

Her medical expenses will be substantial.

For this reason, a GoFundMe campaign as been started to help raise money for her treatment.
