Ensure Comfort for a Mother Fighting Cancer

Donation protected
Help My Mother Stay in Her Safe Haven During Her Cancer Battle. Urgent: We Need $4,000 to Keep Mom in Her Clean, Safe Home. Our mother has been bravely battling stage 4 lung cancer for about a year now. This journey has been incredibly difficult, with countless doctor visits, treatments, and the emotional toll that comes with fighting such a serious illness. Throughout it all, she has shown remarkable strength and resilience, but recent events have created an urgent financial crisis that I'm hoping you can help us overcome.

Just a month ago, disaster struck when our area received 10 inches of rain, causing severe flooding in our home. For most people, this would be a devastating inconvenience, but for my mother with her compromised immune system and vulnerable lungs, it quickly became life-threatening. Within 24 hours of the flooding, she developed a serious lung infection – a dangerous complication for someone already battling lung cancer.

We had to act quickly to get her out of the damp, potentially mold-filled environment. In what felt like both a crisis and a blessing, we found a wonderful independent living facility in Shawnee, Oklahoma. This clean, well-maintained space has made a world of difference in her condition. Since moving there, her health has noticeably improved, her spirits have lifted, and she's experiencing a better quality of life during this precious time.

The facility costs $3,700 per month, which includes a clean environment, proper care, and peace of mind knowing she's in a safe place. My sister Alanna, my pops Alan, my wife Jessica, and I have all been helping and giving our all to cover these costs, but we've now exhausted our savings. Without immediate financial help, my mother will have to leave this healing environment in just one week.

The reality we're facing is heartbreaking – we don't know how much time we have left with her. What I do know is that I want every remaining day to be as good as possible for her. The improvement we've seen since she moved to this facility has been remarkable, and I can't bear the thought of moving her again, especially when this environment has been so beneficial for her health and happiness.

I'm humbly asking for your help to raise $4,000 to cover the upcoming month's rent and give us time to make longer-term arrangements. Every donation, no matter the size, will help keep my mother in this safe haven where she can focus on her health rather than worry about her living situation.

The gift of comfort, safety, and peace of mind is truly priceless, and our family will be forever grateful for your kindness during this difficult chapter of our lives.

With deepest gratitude,

Jason, Jessica, Alanna, Alan
