Hello friends and family

Today we found out a very sad news. My mom has a 5 inch tumor and she is having an emergency surgery this Thursday to remove the huge lump and another surgery next week or so to remove the other small tumors growing inside her. This is the third time she has had a tumor. We aren't certain that she has cancer yet but the doctor is very certain that she has cancer, rather than waiting for her test results to arrive within a week, they decided to call in an emergency surgery since this could be very deadly and could be too late to wait a whole week. She has had a tumor in breasts and her knees before and we are hoping she can battle this 5" tumor as well, along with the small tumors growing inside her. 

My mom (43 years old) is a single parent raising 2 kids without any help. My mom has raised both my autistic brother and I all by herself. She has been the best parent anyone could ask for. She is the only parent I have and I really need the help I can get. I am only 20 years old and I am not ready to lose my mom. 

I have never asked for money before now, but If you could donate that would help not only my mother but my brother and I. My mom no longer has health insurance and you could see how this could be even more overwhelming (nor will health insurance over it all). She is trying her best to stay positive and find organizations that are willing to help her.

For those of you that have had the pleasure to get to meet my mom, you know that she is truly one of a kind. She is super caring and big-hearted with a great sense of humor.

I can't fully express how much your support means to me. I am soo thankful for each and every one of you.  God bless you all. 

Love,
