Influencer Paola Caldera, a 30-year-old Venezuelan refugee and mother of two, has died from complications of pneumonia after battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia since mid-2024.
She gained a large following on TikTok by sharing her cancer journey with resilience and hope, documenting her life in the U.S. after fleeing Venezuela and seeking asylum.
Caldera, a former dentist, noted her hotel cleaning job paid more than her previous career.
Her family confirmed her passing through a translated post, honoring her strength and legacy, and announced a livestream of her funeral on October 2 and 3 via her TikTok account.
They are seeking donations through Zelle to cover funeral costs exceeding $15,000.
Her death follows that of fellow TikToker Natasha Allen, who died after a five-year cancer battle.
