<div>I am a mother of 11 who has spent my life working hard to care for my children—and now my grandchildren as well. I’ve always done everything I can to keep my family afloat, even while working full-time. Unfortunately, over the past year, <strong>my health has taken a serious turn for the worse</strong>, and life has become overwhelming in ways I never expected.

<div>Between mounting medical bills, everyday household expenses, and the rising cost of living, it has become increasingly difficult to keep up. One of my sons, who had been helping me manage some of these financial burdens, is no longer able to do so, leaving our family in a very vulnerable position.

<div>On top of this, a few of my children are struggling with mental illness, and <strong>my greatest wish is to get them the care and support they truly need</strong>—but that comes with costs I can no longer manage alone.

</div>

<div>I know times are tough for everyone, and asking for help does not come easily. <strong>Any support, whether through a donation or simply sharing this fundraiser, would mean more than words can express.</strong> Your kindness would help ease this burden and allow me to focus on healing and caring for my family. Thank you for taking the time to read our story ❤️
