A Final Tribute to Our Fierce and Loving Mom

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Erica, and I’m fundraising on behalf of my incredible mom, who has been bravely facing one of life’s toughest battles. She was recently diagnosed with metastatic poorly differentiated large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC)—a rare and aggressive form of cancer that has progressed rapidly.

Our mom is truly one of a kind. She’s feisty, full of life, and has a heart bigger than anyone we know. She’s the kind of person who always stood up for others, showed love without limits, and brought warmth and laughter wherever she went. She’s been our rock, our protector, and the heartbeat of our family.

Now, as she enters the final stage of her journey, we want to surround her with the same love, comfort, and dignity that she’s given us all these years.

We are raising funds to help with the overwhelming costs of her medical bills, end-of-life care, and funeral expenses. My sister has been caring for her full-time with unwavering love and dedication. She’s taken on so much—physically, emotionally, and financially—to make sure Mom is never alone and always cared for with compassion. This fundraiser is also a way to support her as she continues to give so much of herself every day.

This is one of the hardest moments our family has ever faced. Any donation—no matter the size—will help ease the financial burden and allow us to focus on what matters most: being with Mom and honoring her life with love.

Thank you for your support, your prayers, and for helping us give our fierce and loving mom the beautiful goodbye she deserves.

With all our love and gratitude,
Erica and family
