<div>My name is Anna, and I am creating this fundraiser for my sister, Francine—one of the strongest, most selfless people I know. She is a single mother to two sons, including her 24 year old who is highly autistic and has the developmental level of a young child. Despite every challenge life has thrown her way, she has always stood tall and done everything on her own for her boys.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A short time ago, our family received heartbreaking news: Francine has a brain tumor. As she faces countless medical appointments, tests, and uncertain treatment plans, she is trying her best to stay positive. But with so many unknowns ahead, staying strong becomes harder every day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Francine has always been the kind of person who gives everything she has for her children. She lives in the U.S., and the medical bills are already piling up. With more appointments coming soon and the likelihood that she may need surgery or treatment, the financial burden is becoming overwhelming.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What Your Support Will Help With</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation will go directly toward helping Francine with:
</div>
<ul>
<li>	Her growing medical bills and treatment costs
</li>
<li>	Transportation to specialists and appointments
</li>
<li>	Care support for her autistic son
</li>
<li>	Rent, utilities, and essential living expenses
</li>
<li>	Any unexpected needs during this difficult time
</li>
<li><br />
</li>
</ul>
<div><strong>Why We’re Asking for Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Francine is a proud, independent person who would never ask for help on her own. But right now, she truly needs a community around her. She has always been the rock for her boys, and now she needs help to keep going—for them, and for herself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support—whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this fundraiser—means more than words can say. It gives my sister a bit of peace in a moment filled with uncertainty, and it helps her focus on what matters most: fighting this tumor and being there for her sons.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of my heart, thank you for caring about Francine and our family during this incredibly difficult time.  
</div>
<div><br />
