Would You Buy Me a Coffee? A Mother’s Fight to Save Her Family

Just Imagine If…
Just imagine if you were working tirelessly to build a better life for your family. You’ve decided to take a leap of faith, to go back to school even if it means working six grueling days a week and spending your only day off in class. You’re sacrificing everything because you dream of a brighter future for your children.

Now imagine that dream slipping away in an instant.

My friend—a hardworking, selfless mother—was just about to start her journey to becoming a CNA when tragedy struck. Her 20-year-old son, her pride and joy, was in a devastating car accident. He nearly didn’t survive and is still in critical condition in the ICU, intubated as doctors fight to stabilize him. He lost his leg, and his life, and hers, will never be the same.

A Son’s Dreams Shattered
Her son was her biggest supporter, even taking on a second job to help her go to school. He was passionate about fitness, dedicating countless hours to weightlifting competitions, and he dreamed of one day joining the military. But that dream, along with so many others, was taken from him in an instant. Now, instead of pursuing his goals, he’s fighting for his life, facing a long, painful road to recovery—one filled with physical and emotional challenges.

You Are Probably Wondering Why…
You are probably wondering why I’m sharing this story.

When I saw the unimaginable burden this family is facing, I offered to help. But my friend declined. She isn’t used to being helped and didn’t want to ask for anything other than prayer. She chooses to remain anonymous, and I’m respecting that wish. Her strength and humility in the face of such hardship made me want to step up for her even more.

This Is Where I Come In
I wasn’t sure how I could make a difference until a close friend of mine, “D,” heard their story and did something extraordinary. “D” didn’t just offer support; she opened her heart and donated $500 to help this family. She didn’t have to do that, and I don’t expect anyone else to do this, but she understands what this means for this family. My friend who donated requested to remain anonymous, so I will refer to her as “D.” I’m so blessed to my friend who gave me the inspiration to do this.

I Need Your Help
I need your help. I want to raise $15,000 for this family. While it won’t fix every need, it will allow my friend to care for her son, focus on his recovery, and eventually pursue her dream of going to school. This is about giving them the stability and hope they so desperately need during this unimaginable time.

Would You Buy Me a Coffee?
Would you buy me a coffee if I asked? Instead, I’m asking you for a simple donation that would truly influence someone’s life.

Just imagine if this were your child, your family. Imagine the pain of watching your dreams and your child’s dreams slip away. Imagine the fear and helplessness of not knowing how you’ll make it through the next week. Now imagine someone stepping in, reaching out a hand, and saying, ‘I’ve got you.’ You can be that person today.

A Message of Hope
Every single dollar is a message of hope, a reminder that they don’t have to face this alone. Together, we can help them heal, rebuild, and find light in this darkness.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness and generosity. Whether you’re able to donate or not, I ask that you please share this story. At the very least, please pray for her family and her son as they navigate this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for respecting her privacy and for helping me bring hope to this family in their time of need. Together, we can change their world.
