<div>Your support means the world to me. This has been one of the hardest challenges of my life. God is getting me through it. It definitely takes a toll on my body in various ways. Being on three cancer medications is challenging. I have been on treatment after treatment. Due to the treatment I developed a blood clot in my lung as well as ulcers that cause a GI bleed. I have also endured colitis and a stomach infection that was due to all the cancer medications. I have been hospitalized many times I had surgery on my back because a tumor was compressing on my spinal cord and if I left it much longer I would have been paralyzed. I have been through radiation therapy targeted therapy drugs and immunotherapy. It's been a long and painful journey but I am blessed I have two beautiful young boys. My oldest is 7 my middle child is 5 and my youngest is 13 months old. I have done all this on my own
</div>
<div> with the help of a few loving family members and a few friends. Now I have help with the kids because their dad is back in the picture. Finances are extremely tight and any help would be greatly appreciated. Any one who does donate I pray God blesses them for your kindness for a single mom just trying to survive for her children. Metastatic melanoma stage 4 that has spread from my liver lungs and now my brain is extremely aggressive. The doctors didn't think I would still be here today but God makes a way when everyone else says no. Please pray for me and my family. Thank you everyone.

<div>Hi friends, family, kind strangers and community —
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are reaching out on behalf of <strong>a courageous and deeply devoted single mom of three young boys</strong> who is currently facing the fight of her life: Stage 4 metastatic melanoma.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This diagnosis has turned Amber's world upside down. As she begins treatment, her days are now filled with doctor visits, scans, side effects, and unknowns. But even in the midst of all this, her heart is with her boys—doing everything she can to keep their lives steady, safe, and filled with love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She is not only fighting a relentless illness, but doing so while carrying the weight of keeping her household afloat and recovering from the birth of her youngest. Her greatest wish right now is simple: <strong>the space to rest, to heal, and to be fully present for her children without the crushing stress of unpaid bills and unmet needs.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here’s how your support would help:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Cover out-of-pocket cancer treatment and medical-related travel
</li>
<li>Provide for basic household expenses like rent, utilities, and groceries
</li>
<li>Allow her to focus on her health and her children instead of working
</li>
<li>Ensure her boys have what they need—school supplies, clothing, stability (especially as they start school in the fall!)
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This family has always leaned on faith and resilience, but they can’t do this part alone. <strong>Every donation, no matter the size, brings some breathing room and lets Amber focus on her fight against cancer.</strong> It gives her the ability to rest when her body demands it and to show up for her boys as the stadfast, nurturing mom they know and adore.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you aren’t able to give financially, please consider sharing this page and sending a prayer or word of encouragement - that support means the world, too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping this beautiful family carry a little less on their shoulders right now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With deep gratitude,
</div>
<div>Team Amber
</div>
