My tia, Helen Corella, is a devoted single mother of three boys who need her now more than ever. Helen has been fighting Stage IV renal cell carcinoma, a battle that has taken an unimaginable toll on her health, her strength, and her ability to care for her children. She has been hospitalized since before Thanksgiving, and the one kidney she has is now failing.

Last June, the boys lost their father unexpectedly — and Helen has been their sole provider ever since. Now, with her in the hospital, her sons are staying with family who are doing everything they can to support them. But the truth is, the financial strain is overwhelming. Bills are piling up, groceries are getting harder to afford, and the uncertainty grows each day.

Helen is a mother who has always put her children first. She has worked tirelessly to give them stability, love, and safety. Right now, she needs help to keep her home, provide for her boys, and focus on her health without the crushing weight of financial fear.

We are humbly asking for support — whether through a donation or by sharing this page — to help cover housing costs, groceries, medical-related expenses, and basic needs for Helen and her boys during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read Helen’s story. Your kindness, generosity, and prayers mean more than we can ever express. Whether you donate or simply share this page, you are helping a family stay afloat during the hardest chapter of their lives. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with Helen and her boys.
