My name is Alex, and just a week ago my 70 year old mom, Marina, was diagnosed with cancer. She has already undergone surgery to remove part of her colon, but the cancer has spread to her liver, and now she faces months of chemotherapy.

My mom is all I have, and she means everything to me. Doctors believe that with treatment there is a real chance for recovery — but she will need constant care and support. I want to be there for her every single day: to look after her, help with daily needs, and give her strength through the hardest moments. But this also means I cannot work as much as I usually do, and without help, it’s impossible to manage on my own.

Your support will allow me to stay by her side and give my mom what she needs most: presence, care, and hope for recovery. Even the smallest contribution is a gift of love and time. From the depths of my heart, thank you.

P.S. I sincerely hope that you and your loved ones never have to go through what we are facing now.
