Help Patricia "Patty" Fight Brain Glioma With Strength and Hope

Created October 9th, 2025

Our family received news that has changed our lives forever. My sister, Julian`s mom Patty, was recently diagnosed with a glioma, a type of brain tumor. This diagnosis has come with overwhelming uncertainty, countless doctor visits, treatments, and the beginning of a long medical journey that no one ever imagines facing.

Despite the challenges, Patty has shown incredible courage. She continues to face each day with the same warmth, humor, and love that she has always given so freely to others. But the road ahead includes specialized treatments, surgeries, therapies, and ongoing care—costs that are beyond what insurance can cover and what our family can manage alone.

We are reaching out to our community—friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers—for support. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward:

Covering medical bills and treatments
Travel expenses to specialists and hospitals
Rehabilitation and therapy to support her recovery
Helping relieve the financial stress so she can focus fully on healing

If you are unable to give financially, please consider sharing this fundraiser, keeping Patty in your thoughts, and sending prayers or positive energy her way. Hearing a positive outreach, a text, a DM, phone call to her and or Julian will help keep the faith and hope strong. Your support, friendship & empathy means the world to us, and we are deeply grateful for every kind gesture during this difficult time.

Together, we believe in giving Patty the best chance at fighting this tumor with hope, dignity, and strength.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 💙

The Gonzalez Family.

Hi everyone! First off want to thank everyone for there continued support to Patty and Julian.

Secondly, we had Patty moved back to Baptist for the time being and she is doing as best as can be considering. Please keep the prayers coming and reach out to Julian to offer, support and more importantly in person support.

On a different topic, Patty's little dog is the daddy to 5 cute little puppies that are ready for a happy home. There are small mixed terrier's that are very happy and full of joy. If you, or know of anyone would like one please get in contact with anyone on the family. They are small size puppies. Here is a picture of them with their mom.

Update – March 26, 2026 With Faith

Hello everyone,

I want to begin by sincerely thanking each and every one of you for your continued contributions, prayers, and unwavering support throughout Patty’s fight. Your love, kindness, and generosity—whether through donations, visits, calls, or simple words—have been a lifeline for our family.

We are so grateful that, despite the challenges, Patty was able to enjoy Thanksgiving, and her last family outing was for her birthday on January 8th, 2026 surrounded by love. Sadly, a little after that late January 2026, Patty had to return to the ER after experiencing seizure-like symptoms. She fought many complications to include, clots, pneumonia, and other complications but she fought and pulled thru to the best she could. They discovered swelling in her brain, which is possibly causing these symptoms, and the doctors are worked diligently to reduce it.

Patty has been stabilized to the point where she was transferred over last weekend to, Saint Catherine's West Rehabilitation Hospital 8850 NW 122nd Street, Hialeah Gardens Fl, 33018 (305) 351-7181

More than ever, we ask that you not only pray but also consider visiting Patty in person if you are able. She is uplifted by seeing and hearing familiar faces this terrible fight. We encourage you to reach out and call Julian—he is shouldering this journey 24/7, and your strong words of encouragement and support give him the strength to keep going. He really needs a show of support more than ever in person physically from everyone that can be there for them both. Our mother is also devastated going thru this and also with a sick brother. If you know our mothers story, she is strong but a human can only take so much without support from our friends and family. Currently we ask for family, friends, to reach out, visit and continued prayers.

With love and gratitude,
💙 Patty & Julian’s Family.
