Final Days Mother of 6
Donation protected
We are reaching out to our community, to all those who believe in the power of compassion and solidarity, to join us in raising funds to support our journey and our children. We are also praying for a miracle.
In August we received the devastating news that my wife Brandy was diagnosed with stage 4 "Cholangiocarcinoma" also known as "bile duct cancer". She is only 34 and an amazing mother to our 6 children.
When she was diagnosed she started trembling, and told me she was "scared to die " and didn't want to be left alone. So I reassured her that "we are in this together, and I wont ever leave your side." So we sent our kids to stay with grandma in Lancaster while I care for mommy. Fast Forward 4 months and here we are at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical center . We have been staying here for almost 2 months. Its incredibly painful seeing the love of my life, and the mother of my kids in so much pain, and slowly dying in front of me.
Every time she’s going to begin chemo it gets delayed because of her low blood pressure how weak she is. Last week she was scheduled again to finally start her chemotherapy but she tested positive for Covid and started having trouble breathing. All this time is passing by and the cancer continues to spread aggressively. The cancer has spread to her liver, the tumor is so huge is covers the entire lower part of her stomach, causing an almost complete bowel obstruction.
I created this Gofundme for the unexpected financial burden of temporarily closing down our business and trying to provide for our children, and daily living expenses is overwhelming. The only income we receive at the moment is from my VA disability compensation. Every contribution, no matter how small, will go towards easing the financial strain, and anything left over will go to our children . Thank you for reading.
Thank you for supporting.
Thank you for donating.
