Help Cristine and her family in her fight against cancer

Donation protected
My name is Richard. I’m 24 years old, and it’s just me, my mom Cristine, and my 4-year-old little sister. My mom was recently diagnosed with lymphoma cancer in January 2026, just two weeks before her birthday, and she has to start treatment and meet with doctors immediately. She has already been through so much, including a stroke that left her unable to work for the past several years. Now we are facing another fight together as a family. I’m taking time off work to care for her and to help raise my little sister, who turns 5 in just a couple of weeks. I’m doing everything I can to stay strong for them, but the financial pressure is overwhelming. We are asking for help to cover medical expenses and insurance costs, transportation to chemotherapy treatments, household bills, groceries, and basic needs for my little sister. If you’re able to donate or even just share this page, it would mean everything to our small family. If you can’t give financially, your prayers and support mean just as much. Thank you for helping me take care of my mom and my sister. — Richard Ps. Her Cash App is $CristineDoran
