The community is rallying behind 15-year-old Adilene Duron, a Somerton teenager recently diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma—a rare and aggressive form of bone cancer.
Adilene received the diagnosis on July 8 and has since begun undergoing intensive treatments, including chemotherapy and specialized care in Phoenix.
With her family by her side every step of the way, the journey has come with overwhelming emotional and financial challenges. Adilene’s parents have taken time off work to support her, while managing frequent travel between Somerton and Phoenix for her care.
To help ease the financial burden, Adilene’s family has launched a fundraising campaign to assist with medical expenses, travel costs, and other necessities. The campaign has already drawn support from the local community, who are sharing messages of hope and encouragement for the young teen.
“Adilene is facing this with so much courage, but it’s a tough road ahead,” her family shared. “Any support—whether it’s a donation or simply sharing her story—means everything to us.”
