Save my mother's life and my little brother

Donation protected
I will summarize what I am going through, I am the only support of my family. My mother suffered a stroke 11 months ago and I had to take care of her and my little brother, Leonardo, who is 7 years old. It has been a very hard battle, I worked day and night for my family. The therapies my mother needs, the medications she needs to take daily and the medical check-ups. Bringing food for her and my little brother, I have worked very hard and I am happy that my mother has improved a lot, she has been able to walk after such a long time. Unfortunately she needs urgent heart surgery, and I don't have the money to pay for it. We have already lost the house and many things. But my little brother is hopeful that everything will get better. A month ago I was diagnosed with stomach cancer, it is hereditary on my father's side, he passed away because of this problem. I want to start chemotherapy, but I want my mother to be saved first because that way I will be sure that whatever happens to me in the process my little brother will have my mother with him.
I know these are difficult times, so whether you can donate a lot or a little, it will help me and I will be grateful to you.
Please don't do it for my mother or me, do it for the child. We are the only family he has.

My name is Diego Gutierrez and I am a young man of 19 years old.I am currently trying to save my mother and support my 7 year old brother named Leonardo.I am currently trying to save my mother and support my 7 year old brother named Leonardo. I want to tell you what I am living, one year ago my sister who is the mother of Leonardo, died because of the covid19. This event was painful for our family and especially for my little brother (as I say with affection to Leonardo). My mother Rosario was the most affected, which led her to neglect her health. A couple of weeks later, my mother suffered a cerebral infarction.I took her to the hospital and they told me that the cause was a problem in her mitral valve. All this time I have been taking care of my mother's expenses such as her medications, physical therapies, hospitalization costs and taking care of my little brother, since that child only has my mother and me. It is very difficult for me every night to see my brother crying, afraid of losing another mother. It is frustrating for me to know that I do not have the financial capacity to save my mother. It is hard for me to understand why these things happen to me if I have never been a bad person. We have never hurt anyone, I lost my father to cancer, and now I am about to lose my mother. What hurts the most is for my little brother, he already lost his mother, his father abandoned him, and now he can lose his other mother. I believe very much that life is unfair... She now needs urgent open heart surgery, they need to replace her mitral valve because she has damaged it. Unfortunately the money I had saved has already run out, and I don't have enough to pay for that surgery. It has been two months since I lost my job, everything is becoming very difficult and I have a lot of debt. I am having suicidal thoughts, but I am trying to be strong for my mom and my little brother. On December 16th we will be evicted from the house we live in because I can't pay rent anymore. I don't want my little brother to suffer anymore, I don't want him to lose another mother. A friend recommended me to open a Gofundme campaign, I hope I can reach the goal although I see it very far. But as he told me, maybe if we get 6,000 people to donate $10 or 600 people to donate $100, we will reach the goal. I ask you to please help me save my mother, help me make my little brother happy again.
If you can't donate, please help me share the campaign.

How the money will be used:
 *37,000-42,000 $ -cost of operation
 * 5,000$- physical and speech therapy . Medications for my mother
 *5,000$ -money for food expenses for my mother and my brother, to rent a small house or room for them, since my mother will not have the physical strength to be able to work yet.
 *10,000$- Cost and treatment for cancer
