At 19 years old, I stepped away from school to care for my mother while she goes through chemotherapy, for a 2nd time. She has given me everything in life, and right now she needs my support more than ever.

Because I care for her full time, I can’t work, and our family is under real financial pressure. While my mom should be focused on healing, everyday bills and basic needs don’t stop, and the stress of that weighs heavily on her.

My goal is simple: to help give my mom peace while she heals. It’s hard to rest and recover when you’re worried about how the bills will be paid or what the future looks like.

I’m taking responsibility.

I’m sharing this because staying quiet hasn’t helped, and asking for help is part of doing everything I can for my mom. Any support would help cover basic living costs, medical needs, and give her room to breathe during this time.

If you can’t donate, sharing with someone who might be able to help would mean just as much.

I don’t plan to ask for help forever. I just refuse to look back and wish I had tried when my mom needed me most. Thank you for taking the time to read our story.
