Help Cancer Survivor and Single Mom Rebuild Stability

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Naama.

I’m a single mother to an incredible autistic boy named Lev, a cancer survivor, and someone doing everything I can to hold things together. Life has pushed us to the edge—but not over it. Not yet.

Over the past two years, I fought breast cancer, underwent a double mastectomy, reconstruction, and chemotherapy—all while parenting full-time with no co-parent, no partner, and no break.

Through that storm, my parents, my sister, and her husband stood by me. Their help—emotional, practical, and financial—got us through the darkest days. But their support has its limits, and now that the crisis has passed, I’m left to face a new one: the debt, the bills, and the daily reality of raising a neurodivergent child on a single income.

I’ve gone back to work, but the cost of surviving is catching up to me. Rent, groceries, therapy, utilities—it’s all piling up, and I’m falling behind despite my best efforts.

I’m not looking for miracles. Just a hand to help us catch up. To stay in our home. To give my son the structure and peace he needs to thrive.

If you can give—anything—it would mean the world to us. And if not, even sharing this or sending a kind word is a gift. Your support is more than money. It’s community. It’s compassion. It’s hope.

Thank you for helping us keep going.
With gratitude,
Naama & Lev
