Help Jazmin Torres' Parents with Medical Needs
Donation protected
My name is Jazmin Torres and my mom has stage 4 colon cancer and heart failure with a few more health conditions. My dad has IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) which he got from covid about 4 years ago which makes working steadily impossible. I had my own health concerns and money is very tight. I live with my parents. My family has helped quite a bit as much as they can. I am in between jobs right now and my funds have been completely depleted. I have been working gigs here and there but looking for a stable job.
Insurance has been helpful for my mom's treatment but there are a lot of things that aren't covered by insurance such as transportation (mom, especially, and dad can't travel much) to and from treatment, food for their very special diets and medical supplies (not covered by insurance) for my mom, among other things. We also need to move from our apartment to lessen the risk of mom getting other cancers, ie lung cancer. A lot of our neighbors smoke and there is a bar under our apartment which is extremely noisy making it difficult for us to sleep and the customers smoke inside the bar and out, making our apartment a chimney.
My mom is beautiful, kind person. My parents have been giving and generous for as long as I remember. We need help with providing care for my parents but specifically my mom. We appreciate any help. Thank you.
