My mother’s wish is to ask others for help…

It pains me to relay this news… My mother’s trip of a lifetime has been cut short. During a cross country road trip, after arriving in Colorado my mother started coughing up blood. Fast forward a week later and she is admitted to the cancer treatment floor at Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs. My 52 year old best friend and mother has a blood clot in one lung and the other side has a collapsed lung… They found and determined she also has stage 4 cancer that started in the lungs and has now molded into her bones and her spine is showing cancer tumors.. They are are also showing spots on her liver. They have her on oxygen, heparin (for blood clot) and continually need to drain/monitor her lungs. As soon as I got news she was in the ER I grabbed the next flight and have been staying at a hotel in Colorado alone for the past 2 weeks… Unfortunately due to covid and the hospital rules, I must leave by 8pm every night. I am currently more than 5,000 dollars in the hole and counting everyday. Money is irrelevant compared to the time I want to spend with her but I really need help... I have sold my stocks, crypto currencies and more to make sure I can keep spending time with her. I am blessed with a helping father but it is still really tough for us… The goal is to get my mother strong enough to fly her home to MA but she is still no where strong enough. She started chemo yesterday (June 3rd). I have never been in a worse spot mentally, physically and financially and I am asking my friends and colleagues to help in anyway they can.. The doctors can’t give us a time frame for how long we have.. right now it’s all about making sure she is comfortable… I am sorry if you try talking to me about this situation and I take some time to reply, I am doing my best.. We are not sure if she will even make it home…
