Eleonora's Cure

“Helping the people we care for and the families we believe in”

 

Eleonora's Story
This is a story of a Mother. A mother, a wife and a sibling who help take care of her brother and sisters.
Eleonora was born November 18, 1935 in Indonesia. Growing up she enjoyed being with her brother(1) and sisters (6) but at times it was very difficult and challenging. Eleonora faced the horrors of WWII with the occupation of Japan over Indonesia. She and her family were In prison camp until 1945. She later found the love of her life, was married and moved to Holland. She and her husband started a family while he was in the Dutch Military. Then Eleonora migrated to the United State and settled in California. Eleonora and her husband Hendrick had another daughter. We grew together as a family and share many years of happiness.

My Mother and I were very close. She shared many stories growing up and living with a large family of seven. She was a very kind and loving person towards everyone and a fantastic cook. Being the oldest, she was very responsible and bestowed those qualities to me and my sisters.

One day in 1991 my Mother had a small lump in her left breast and that is how everything started with Cancer spreading all over her body. She was determined to look forward and went through many choices to find a possible cure.

This is why my Husband and I started working to help others.
