Madison Police Raise $5,000 For Woman Fighting Cancer

MADISON, NJ - Through the Rose City Food Truck Festival held in September, the Madison NJ PBA 92 were able to raise $5,000 to help a local family deal cancer.

The donation will help provide financial relief to the Mendoza family, as Duvraska Mendoza recovers from her battle against cancer, officials said.

On a GoFundMe page Mendoza said she is a dreamer and will never stop following her heart.

"Thank you everybody for your unconditional support without you we would never overcome this rough time," Mendoza said. "Remember to take any chance, opportunity and/or risk that life brings to you because everything happens for a reason and you won't realize it at first but trust me you will see how everything comes together in the end and it will be amazing."

Those who are interested can still make a donation through the fundraiser website.
