Help Jenna see her mom before she passes
Donation protected
I have to cross the country again! My mother was diagnosed with stage 3 pancreatic cancer last year. She's been through all of the chemo they can put her through but the tumor didn't shrink enough for surgery. Then the clot in her liver while being unable to eat, 1AM phone calls from her medical alert that she fell... This has all been so terrifying. She's said she's basically skin and bones now, except for the swelling in her belly and legs.
I didn't get anything back in tax refund and money has been tight since Leila has been out of work. Buses are overbooked and have no seats. We need to take our car to get there. The car needs an alignment before we drive that far at highway speeds, a desperately needed oil change. We need a motel while we're there, Mom's studio apartment wouldn't hold us even if we could tolerate the stale smoke. I estimate gas is going to cost is around $350 round trip, though the car may just be getting bad gas mileage now because we only drive at city speeds.
When I last saw my mom, I was still deadname. I want to be able to meet my mom as Jenna for the first time, tell her her daughter loves her and that for the first time, she's gonna be okay. She doesn't have anyone else in the family left. Please help me say goodbye
