Help Julio care for his family and cope with loss

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Kylie, and I’m raising funds to support my stepdad during one of the most heartbreaking seasons of our lives.

My mom has been bravely battling pancreatic cancer since November 2024. Throughout this entire journey, my stepdad has been by her side as her full-time caregiver while also raising my 8-year-old sister. He has put everything else aside to care for her with love, patience, and strength—often at the expense of his own well-being.

In August 2025, my mom was placed on hospice care. We are now approaching the end of her fight, and she is expected to pass in the coming days. Right now, my stepdad is navigating the impossible—keeping my mom comfortable in her final moments, preparing to raise my little sister on his own, and trying to keep up with mounting medical bills and everyday expenses.

The emotional toll is overwhelming, and the financial burden is becoming more than one person can carry alone. This fundraiser is meant to help relieve some of that pressure—covering medical and hospice-related costs, household bills, childcare needs, and giving him the space to grieve without the constant fear of financial collapse.

If you’re able to donate, share, or simply keep our family in your prayers, we are deeply grateful. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps more than you know.

Thank you for surrounding our family with love during this incredibly painful time.
