I am a SAHM without the option to work right now. My boyfriend does work, but his job was recently bought out within the past few months, and they cut his hours and don’t allow overtime. So, we are living paycheck to paycheck while he is saving up and working on transitioning to doing subcontracting. My son and I just got the news on 5/2/2026 that his father, who lives in Florida, was given 6 months to live. I would love to be able to take my son to Florida to spend time with his father before he passes and doesn’t get the chance again. We haven’t been able to take him since 2024 to see his father due to myself not being able to work and the loss of extra income. We ONLY have the chance to take him to see his dad over the summer due to the school district here being so strict about absences. In order to take him to Florida, I would also have to take my two daughters, who are 1 and 3, while my boyfriend stays home to work.

Here’s a little backstory about my son’s father:

My son’s father has been living in Fort Myers, Florida, since my son was about 2. He was diagnosed with stage 4 rectal cancer in 2022, when my son started kindergarten, and has been fighting it since. The cancer has spread to many of his other organs and has caused many complications over the years. The news we just got is that it’s causing liver failure. His father has yellowing of the eyes and skin starting. While he was given 6 months, we don’t know if it will be less or more time.

If you could donate or share, to help give my son this possibly last opportunity, it would be greatly appreciated.

Attached are some photos of my son and his father, as well as photos of his father during his cancer journey.
