Breast Cancer Awareness & funeral funds

Story

Hi everyone, my name is Hannah, I’m 26 mother of 2 young children and I’m reaching out for help and support at a very difficult time in my life. My beloved mum passed away a week before Christmas week on 14th December after her 3 year fight to stage 4 breast cancer that very sadly spread to her lung, bones, jaw, rib and liver. Around such a special time of year where happiness and hope are rammed down your throat. Heartbroken and devastated doesn’t even begin to describe how I’m feeling. She was my bestest friend and biggest supporter. Even with all the darkness that cancer threw at my mum, the persistent pains and fatigue day to day, the lymphedema causing her body to swell, painful mouth ulcers, the hair loss and loss of taste to favourite foods, constant side effects and symptoms counteracting, mastectomy, all the chemotherapy treatments, radiotherapy, biopsies, blood transfusions, various different mri, ct and other types of scans, endless hospital appointments, covid for 2 weeks because she was put on a ward riddled with it after she was recovering from neutropenic sepsis!!, countless letdowns from the hospital (specifically doctors) on inefficient discharge and overall poor management of mums cancer care and treatment, so many missed occasions and stolen opportunities to make memories because of the cock ups, cancer & covid restrictions, whilst going through temporary accommodation after her abusive deadbeat husband of 30 years cheated for the 2nd time and left her with no explanation other than he no longer loved her, 30 years of broken promises, BUT even with all that she didnt EVER allow cancer nor my dad to change her or take any of her happiness from her, she stood tall and was courageous, she woke up every day still full of love, kindness, hope, gratitude and laughter to give, for herself, for her children, for her grandchildren, for her sisters, for life. She has always had such a beautiful soul throughout her entire life but in her darkest times it shone the most, the light didn’t just gleam out of her the light was always shining, she was forever cracking jokes and so beautiful inside & out. She will always be my light to guide me through and give me strength, to always be kind, to do better and make a difference. I am trying to raise awareness to breast cancer and the importance of checking for signs and attending routine scans and tests to prevent cancers being able to develop, I am doing this from taking donations for Breast Cancer Now aswell as funds towards giving my mom the most beautiful send off she deserves cause my mum was so focused on being happy and being brave with the time she had she didn’t want to think about death or the arrangements she may need. We all want to believe we have forever. I was declined any support from the government even though there is no one else in my family that is able to afford the funds and I am currently not working as I give up my job in September to care for my mum. My mum is the most selfless person I know and always thought of others before herself. If anyone can help share or donate it would mean absolutely everything to me and my family Hold your loved ones tight always & stay blessed I love you all the moon and stars Mum, I won’t ever stop trying for you or telling your stories, forever proud and grateful of you my special angel flying high, I’ll see you over that rainbow In loving Memory of the beloved Frances Mary O’Connor, forever on our mind, always in our hearts
