My name is Cathy, I am a mom and friend to two remarkable teenage girls who have just experienced the unimaginable—losing their mom after a courageous battle with cancer. Their world has been turned upside down, and as they grieve the loss of the person who loved and guided them most, they are also facing a future filled with uncertainty.

As these girls stand on the edge of adulthood, our greatest hope is that they don’t have to sacrifice their dreams, education, or opportunities simply to survive this heartbreaking chapter. No young person should have to choose between grieving properly and securing their future.

Their dad and step-family are relocating from more than eight hours away to be closer and provide the stability these girls desperately need. While this move is rooted in love and support, it also brings significant financial strain during an already overwhelming time.

This fundraiser is meant to ease that burden—helping cover immediate living expenses, education-related costs, and basic needs—so these girls can focus on healing, growing, and honoring their mom’s memory without fear of what comes next.

Any contribution, no matter the size, is a powerful act of kindness. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page is just as meaningful.

Thank you for helping ensure that the bright future these girls deserve is not lost because of circumstances beyond their control. ❤️
