Hello, my name is Isaac and here is the story about my mother:

After coming back from a trip in the summer, my mother had started to feel weak and fell ill. She asked to be taken to the hospital and we rushed her. Her illness was cured, however the doctors found something else in her system that they wanted to examine further. A few sleepless days later, my mother told me they found some cancer cells in her. At first, I assumed (and hoped) that it was her stage-zero breast cancer and there were some cells detected by the machinery... sadly I was wrong - it turned out to be Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (view this link from The American Cancer Society to learn more - What Is Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia). For those of you who are unfamiliar with what this is, it means that there are cancer cells in her bone marrow and white blood cells. We were all devastated from the news the doctors brought upon us, and it left a hole in my heart as if a piece of me died that day. My mother is a strong woman, and through the endless tears we shed, she promised that she would keep fighting no matter the cost. What hurt me even more was that the summer was coming to an end and I would return to college out-of-state. The day I left home to catch my flight back to school, I refused to let go of her and I promised her, with a face full of tears and a smile, that I will pray and beg to God for healing every day. I remember hearing my mom cry when I closed her door and I walked out despondently as the sad news loomed in my mind. She kept sobbing and blamed herself, but it was something that she could not control so she had no need to apologize - I still hear her words from that time every day and it deeply pains me. Every day, I light a prayer candle and recite the prayers where I beg for my mother to feel better day after day and to eventually be fully rid of cancer. She has good days but bad days as well where her treatments leave her feeling depressed, but she remains hopeful that things will get better. My mother is my role model and my superhero, I have no other words to describe how special she is to me and how important she is. She has talked me out of suicide and has been a voice that would always listen to me without bias - she is the reason why I still walk on this beautiful planet today. My mother has done so many things for me throughout my lifetime, and I want to give back to her, however I cannot do it alone and that is why I am asking for your help. She is everything to me - without her I am nothing but just a wandering soul. Mother, I will always be your baby no matter how old I am, and I will never leave you. I am your son, and I will do whatever it takes to be by your side. I will always love you with all my heart, to the moon and back, even after the day I die.

Your loving son,

Isaac

I told myself, from the day I was given the tragic news, that I was gonna make something like this so I can help out. I was hesitant at first because I never believed it would work out, but I have faith that it will be okay. At the time of this GoFundMe being posted, I am currently attempting to sell some of my personal belongings as a means to increase the money earned from this donation page so the bills can be paid for.

Any amount is kindly appreciated, thank you for your generosity. If you can't donate, that's okay as well. At the very least, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share this fundraiser with anybody you know. Your support is what motivates me even further to give back to the people that I love. Thank you for reading this, have a blessed day.
