Hello, my name is Chelsea Pough. We are starting to fundraise for my mom, Shelley Shepherd. Our mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney cancer in July of 2024.

Our world was turned upside down when we received the news. My mom has been a champ ever since, fighting through all the obstacles.

Now let me tell you about my mom, she's my hero! One of her greatest qualities is she always puts her family first, no matter what. Despite everything, the cancer continued to spread.

Now it’s our time to put her first. She is currently in the hospital and has been for about a month, fighting the whole time. We are praying to God that she will be able to return home soon.

During these past couple of months, with all the pain, she hasn't been able to work or carry out her daily routines.

It hasn't always been an easy path for my mom. She’s a single mom, always powering through life. We are asking for help to put my mom first. Any and every donation, no matter the size, will help keep my mom afloat. We are doing our best to keep her house and pay her bills. These funds will alleviate so much stress so she can focus on what matters the most: fighting, healing, and being with the ones she loves the most.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you and please continue to pray for my mom.

Thank you on behalf of Shelley and her family.
