Helping hand to "Big Mama"
Donation protected
As some of you may already know, my family was blindsided with the tragic news that the Rock of my family, my mother was diagnosed with liver cancer. This type of cancer very commonly goes unnoticed and undetected up until it's last stages, and when all options of any type of treatment becomes bleak. It has advanced to a magnitude that I cannot even comprehend. It has affected and spread throughout most of her body, even effecting her brain and mental state. She is already in the 4th stage and most treatments at this point will harm, more than help her condition. She has been admitted to Long Beach Memorial for the second time in less than a month, and as you can imagine, with each visit going into the weeks, it can and has put quite a strain on my family. As strong as my mother has taught all her boys to be, the mind and heart can only endure so much pain and heartache. My brothers and I have made most of the necessary arraignments to be by her side throughout her ordeal and in doing so, our own personal and professional life and priorities has been placed on hold. I'm starting this campaign for a number of reasons, most of which I dread to even bare. In particular, in any event, God forbid, she does not pull through. My mom has always taught me to consider all the variables, and I can't help but think of the possibilities and "worst case". A portion of the campaign is to further explore a more unconventional method a treatment, one that is not light on the pocket considering the details of such a treatment. Additionally, some is to assist in any suppliemental finances that may have been overlooked while she was admitted (and while my dad takes time off of work to be by her side). Medical expenses, prescriptions, the list goes on... And like I stated before, the most, I can't even fathom to mention, is the possibility of the worst case scenio, and the expenses associated with that. I'm not entirely sure what the financial goal would be considering the details currently are a bit vague, but any and all contributions will be greatly appreciated and even the gesture of prayers and good graces are very welcomed and reciprocated. If you had the honor to have met my mother, she makes it a point to welcome you into her life and home with open arms and a full belly. To many, she was like a second mother. And that is a true testament to her character and quality of life. With every family function being held at her house, she never turned a blind eye. She has been a trooper throughout this horrible disease and I hold her in such a higher esteem now considering her refusal to give up. It breaks my heart into more peices that I can count but knowing you're fighting it, put me at ease to know you won't go down easily. I love you with every part of my being mama. Keep going... And again #FuckCancer
