Voices of Fightstrong

Behind every donation, every event, and every gift is a person whose life it touched. These are their words — fighters who found strength, caregivers who never stopped showing up, and supporters who made it all possible. Together, they're what Fightstrong is really about.

Some people don't just make a difference — they change the atmosphere of every room they walk into. Watching Joey and Michelle in that room, seeing a mother's love, a family's strength, and two people who turned one of life's hardest battles into hope for others, is something I'll never forget.

Genna Kalooky
Fightstrong Fighter

Thank you for walking with us and helping us navigate this disgusting disease. After our meeting, Kaitlin felt hopeful, positive, and felt a strong sense of kickin' cancer's ass — that came from your kind words and encouragement. So thank you for your support, love, guidance, and generosity.

Judy Hortelao
Caregiver

Thank you so much for this wonderful gift — this is such a huge help. I order a lot online since it helps me not have to physically go to the store when I can't. Every bit of support like this makes such a difference.

Kaitlin Hortelao
Fightstrong Fighter

I am so unbelievably grateful for you to do this for me. Thank you so much again for you and your mom and your support for me through this entire journey. My life wouldn't be the same if I hadn't met you.

Dana Addivinola
Fightstrong Fighter

I can't even begin to explain how much this all means to Nicole, me, and all of us. We were brought to tears talking about how much that help will make for all of us. They seriously needed that — thank you so much, man, from the bottom of our hearts.

Anthony Martinico
Caregiver

Strongest woman in the entire world. So proud of you, Dana. I love you so much. Thank you for the support — it means everything to have people like Fightstrong standing behind our family.

Dennis Kropp
Caregiver

Thank you, Fightstrong Foundation, for all the love and support. And thank you to all of the donors that make it possible for them to help patients like myself — you're changing lives every single day.

Christie Garrecht
Fightstrong Fighter

You guys are awesome — God bless you for doing this! The work you do for cancer patients and survivors doesn't go unnoticed. It's a light for so many families going through the hardest moments of their lives.
