My name is Steven. I am doing this to raise for my mother Elsa who is battling stage 4 cancer.

She is the most selfless human being you will ever meet. Anyone who has met her can attest to that. She has an infectious smile that lights up any room she’s in. We found out the diagnosis early July of 2024 and our lives forever changed. By the time we found out, she was already in stage 4. Elsa is a wife to Sunil of 34 years, mother of 3 and a grandmother of 3. Her grandchildren are 3 and two 1 year old twins. They are her world, and the hardest part of this for her is not being able to chase them around and carry them.

Elsa loves photography and holidays. It’s killing her that she cannot dress them up in cute outfits each holiday and take endless photos of them. I have watched her fight this terrible disease each day never giving up and deciding to do anything she could to watch her grandkids grow up.

Today, we got news that no one will ever want to hear. Her chemo is not working and the cancer has fully spread. Doctors are not optimistic. This ordeal has taken a major toll on all of us, especially my father. He has taken on the financial and emotional burden the most. What was a household of two incomes have been held up by one with my mother no longer able to walk let alone work. Any donations are more then gracious.

My father is very prideful and would never ask for assistance from anyone. He is as strong as my warrior of a mother, but this burden and weight has been the heaviest he’s ever had to endure. Please spread this to anyone who may listen and help my family in this time of need. Thank you.
