Dawns last wishes

This is my mum dawn, for those of you who know my mum you won't need to read this to know what a nice, loving, caring, brave, strong and remarkable women she is, for those of you who don't I'd like to tell you my mums story.
Five years ago my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer and after a hard year or two of chemotherapy and a masctectomy she was finally given the all clear in October 2016. In January 2017 mum wasn't feeling too well and was having quite bad head aches and losing her balance, she knew something wasn't right and took her self to Barnsley A&E where she was admitted and a couple of days later given a CT scan which revealed she had 3 brain tumours. She was sent straight over to Sheffield Royal Hallamshire where after a few days she had another CT scan and a MRI scan which sadly revealed tumours also on her lungs kidneys liver and her only breast. After a horrendous 2 to 3 weeks waiting the surgeons got together and took biopsys from mums tumours which revealed 5 days later our worst nightmare. My mum had terminal incurable small cell lung cancer. The consultants told us that if mum didn't have chemo she would have 6-8 weeks to live if she did have chemo 6-12 months give or take. This news was devastating to our family. My mum is the most caring loving women I have ever met, I'm her eldest daughter at 34 and I have three younger brothers aged 14, 18, and 20. My mum has also throughout her life fostered many children. No one deserves this awful illness/disease to devastate their lives like this, especially not my mum who has done so much through her life to help anyone she can. Mum spent the whole of last week arranging her own funeral and now that awful part is over I just want to make her final weeks as enjoyable and stress free as I can.
My mum was the bread winner in her house as her husband received quite a bad leg injury leaving him unable to work. She worked in a care home at Cudworth caring for the elderly right up until the day before she took her self to the hospital. She is now recieving £90 a week sick pay from her employer until hopefully Macmillan can help her to claim some kind of sickness benefit.
Mum has took this news on board and is being really strong and brave.
She only has a couple of last wishes the first being, she would like a nice short break to sunny Cleethorpes where us as a family have spent a lot of our holidays for more than 30 years. We would like to raise enough money for a disabled caravan for a long weekend and spending money to enjoy her final holiday with her family. Her second wish is just one weekend away with her husband just them two alone with her choice of Whitby, so we would also like to raise money for this. We would also like to try and raise some spare money to help with funeral arrangements. Any donation will be more than appreciated and I thank you for taking time to read my mums story. God bless.
