As a lot of you know, my mom has been battling bladder cancer for the last two years. After 4 surgeries and treatments following, the cancer has progressed and she now has to get her full bladder removed as soon as possible. It is very likely that if she doesn't do the surgery, it will break the lining of her bladder and spread to her organs, and at that point we will be in big trouble. She was going to say no to the surgery, because she will be out of commission for two months and will not be able to work.  I am not one to ask for help. In fact, I HATE asking. But I promised her I'd figure out a way and begged her to do the surgery.  She agreed, and it's set to happen at the end of the month. This is a difficult thing to go through in general, and even more so to ask for help. But this will allow her to pay some of her medical expenses and bills while she recovers and is out of work. I deeply appreciate anything you can give. And prayers are also needed. So anything you can do will help tremendously. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
