Funeral funds for 49 year old Tünde Perje
Donation protected
My mother moved to Canada when she was 26 years old in search of a better life and had me about 5 years later. Growing up, my biological father was never in the picture, so my mother and I only had each other. Our relationship was always extremely tight from the start. My mother was my best friend. She was always supportive of me, she would always listen to me when I needed a shoulder to cry on, and was the first person I went to when I had something to share.
At the end of 2014, my mother met Oszkár (Csaba). They fell in love, and a few months later, we flew out to Vienna to meet him. I was a little protective at first of my mom, since my whole life, it had always been just the two of us, but our bond as a family quickly grew tight, and Oszkár (Csaba) became the father I never had when I was growing up. Even at a young age, I noticed how happy my mother was with him.
My mother and I moved to Vienna in 2016 to move in with Oszkár (Csaba). They got married in August and we were ready to start our lives together as a family. It didn‘t take long for either of us to get used to it. My mother and Oszkár (Csaba) always worked at the same firm, and my mother was always loved by all her colleagues. I quickly found friends and focused on my studies. In my third year of high school, in September of 2022, just when my life started to look perfect, my mother told me she was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of breast cancer. The news came as a shock to all of us, but my mother, the fighter she was, was determined to beat it. She underwent multiple rounds of chemotherapy and an operation in April 2023 to remove the tumor. In the summer, she visited the hospital 5 times a week for radiation therapy and continued to take chemo medication. Oszkár (Csaba) always tried to take away some of the pain we were all feeling by taking us on multiple excursions, such as spontaneous trips to Venice and Hallstatt. The summer of 2023 was one of the best summers I’ve had in my life, and we were all very happy.
By September 2023, she was almost completely back to her normal self, and we all thought the nightmare was over, when just a month and a half later, in the middle of October, my mother started to have trouble breathing. Her health deteriorated every day, and she was hospitalized for nearly all of November.
The last week she spent in the ICU, Oszkár (Csaba) and I would visit her every single day and spend the rest of our day after school and work by her side. Although a part of us knew there was no coming back from this, the rest of us still clung on to the hope that she would recieve treatment and that she would get better. On November 16th, 2023, we were told that the cancer had spread throughout her entire body, and that she would not recieve treatment. She passed away three hours later.
Oszkár (Csaba) and I are now on our own, and I‘m making this GoFundMe in an attempt to help him as much as I can with the funeral costs. I would greatly appreciate any donation and I kindly thank everyone for their support in advance. I will never forget my mother and the 18 years I was lucky enough to spend with her by my side.
