Support Sam's Journey to Recovery After Amputation
Posted by JD on August 20 2026
My name is Tracy Salyer. My coworker, Samantha Rae Marrujo (Sam), was diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma in April 2024. The tumor started at the size of a walnut and is now taking up half of her right leg. She has had three unsuccessful surgeries and 16 months of physical therapy. The leg is rejecting again. The decision has been made for amputation. This is all a huge strain financially, mentally, and physically. She has been denied disability twice. She has no savings left. She is scared but has a positive attitude and still keeps a smile on her face. Funds would help with medical equipment, bills, and a future prosthesis.
