Lorissa Gonzalez is only 30 years old, and she is facing the battle of a lifetime. Lorissa has undergone several treatments after her startling discovery.
The wife and mother of 3 says fighting inflammatory breast cancer has been difficult financially for her family, traveling to Houston every 3 weeks for chemotherapy. These treatments are beginning to take a major toll on her body.
The cancer is cutting into her job of 6 years, making it impossible to continue as a Harlingen hairdresser.
Several of Lorissa's clients are also Harlingen businesswomen who want to make this painful process a little esier for Lorissa and her family to bear.
They are holding a Holiday shopping extravaganza at the Harlingen Country Club with proceeds benefiting their hairdresser and friend.
