Help Allison care for her mom in her final days

Donation protected
We are organizing this fundraiser for our dear friend Allison, who is going through a heartbreaking chapter in her life.

Allison’s mother, who lives in St. Petersburg, Florida, was recently diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer that has metastasized to her liver. The diagnosis is terminal.

Allison lives in New York, and with her brother unable to travel frequently, she has taken on the role of primary caregiver. In order to care for her mom and spend whatever time they have left together, Allison will be temporarily relocating to Florida—to be there emotionally, physically, and logistically during this incredibly difficult time.

We are raising $25,000 to help cover the unexpected but essential costs of:

  • Travel between New York and Florida
  • Temporary housing and daily living expenses
  • Local transportation for caregiving and medical needs
  • Unpaid time away from work

This support will allow Allison to be fully present with her mother during her final days without the added stress of financial strain.

Any unused funds will be donated in full to the American Cancer Society, in honor of Allison’s mother and to help others fighting this devastating disease.

This fundraiser is about showing up for someone who is showing up for her family with grace and strength. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help ease the burden and make a real difference in Allison’s life right now.

Please consider contributing—and sharing this campaign with your network. Thank you for helping Allison spend this sacred time with her mom with love, peace, and dignity.
