My Name is Andrea and this is for my Mother Dolores.

I've always stumbled through life, lacking any motivation for anything.

I never wanted to be around in life for very long but my mother, dolores, was always the reason I stayed. Shes a saint, raising me and my brother on her own. My father was around but he was unemployed and on drugs.

I could give you this sad story for hours and I dont even know if it would help my case.

Bottom line is I've always felt like a nobody in life and my lack of financial stability can attest to that, so because of that I cant help my own mother. I feel like a failure.

She has been recently diagnosed with breast cancer and I am terrified of losing her. I havnt seen her in 6 or 7 years due to me moving out of state and just not having enough financial security to visit her, shes also a bit of a hermit and hates to fly or leave home.

My only goal for this fund raiser is I just wanna be able to go and see her and have a good time, make some memories with her, ask her questions ive always wanted to ask her, take her out because she never goes out, that's all i want.

On top of this awful news, I have lost my job today (aug 18th 2025) and its looking like I have to cancel my trip to see her in october, so this is truly my last ditch effort in seeing her.

I'm at such a loss for words, a loss for actions, I feel defeated and helpless.

I dont even care about making the full goal I've set, i just slapped a number in that the site recommended.

I just want enough to be able to do anything she wants, to get her whatever food she wants, to buy her a gift here and there on the trip.

I know this has seemed like a random rambling mess but I truly dont know how else to put things, Im just a mess. I dont even know when she will be getting treatment, IF she will be getting treatment, I dont know if surgery is a potential thing. My family has always been in poverty, we never had much. My father is still around and working but he's just a custodian and I dont know how much of the hospital bills he will be able to handle and I feel like shes aware of that and might just choose to deny treatment.

Shes a beautiful person who would give you the shirt off her back and thats not an exaggeration. Shes given so much to people who havnt given her a single thing in return and she would never expect them to.

I know these stories are probably a dime a dozen, but I truly just dont know what else to do. I just want to be with my mom while I still can.

So if you could find it in your heart to donate something, hell you dont even have to donate, just spread this around to anyone, put it anywhere, so that maybe I can find help. I would very very very much appreciate it and I could never thank you enough for your kindness.

Thank you for your time and effort and anything else you may give.
