Help a Brave Mother Overcome Cancer's Challenges

I wanted to share a heartbreaking update: Shakirah is now sedated and on a ventilator. Her cancer has progressed to stage 4, and her condition is critical.

Our focus now is on supporting her two young children, who are facing a lot of uncertainty. We’re continuing to raise funds to help with their care, stability, and everyday needs during this incredibly difficult time.

My heart breaks for them. If you’re able, please continue to donate or share. Every bit of support matters.

Hi, my name is Bre, and I’m reaching out for support for my cousin, Shakirah, who is only thirty-five years old and currently battling pancreatic cancer. Shakirah is a strong, loving mother of two young children, 8 and 4, who are her entire world. Despite the immense challenges she’s facing, she continues to fight for her family every single day.

Right now, she is undergoing chemotherapy and is unable to work due to her illness. With no income, the rising cost of living, and no vehicle to get to her treatments, the financial strain has become overwhelming. The expenses for medical bills, basic living costs, and providing for her children have created an impossible situation.

I’m asking for donations to help ease this burden for Shakirah. Your contributions will go directly toward covering her medical expenses, helping with rent, and providing essential support for her and her children during this incredibly difficult time.

Even if you aren’t able to donate, sharing this page with your friends and family could make a world of difference. Thank you so much for your kindness, support, and generosity in helping Shakirah and her kids get through this difficult journey. Every bit helps, and we are deeply grateful for any help you can provide.
