Help making lasting memories & covering costs for my mum

Hi my name is Becky I’m creating this fundraiser for my dear Mum. My hero, my everything, my best friend, my one constant strength in my life. was recently diagnosed with stage four small cell lung cancer. It is an aggressive and fast progressive form of cancer and they have given her 12 months to live if she is lucky and that’s with chemotherapy there is no cure for this type of cancer with the prognosis being short.

Us as a family are going through so much emotional pain and I can’t even begin to describe the feeling that this feels like other than someone has punched a massive hole into the centre of your chest and ripped your soul from you.

if I feel this way I can’t even begin to imagine how my dear mum herself is feeling. she has so many worries ,so many things she still wanted to do and things she wanted to do with me and my small children. She has so many worries about funeral costs that I want to help take some of that burden away from her and that she can concentrate on enjoying as much as she can with the time that she has left with us without having to worry about leaving me with a huge bill after she’s gone. We would also like to have some spare money to be able to enjoy making memories and her spending what time she has left with her grandchildren and myself.

Even talking about it now, the shock that I feel is devastating and very surreal. Like I’m talking about someone else…. But I’m not ! It’s my mum..

it’s right what people say you never expect this to happen to somebody that you love and this has happened so quickly. cancer is unfair. My mum is only 67. It’s no age nowadays and she has so much to live for so many things in life to look forward to but the cancer is robbing her of that time. It is so hard to watch the person that you love and care about the most . The person that you’ve always looked up to, the one constant .

the strong, loving independent Mum that is still desperately trying to put her feelings to one side and bravely hide her feelings to try and spare me any more heartache, but bless her that isn’t possible. It’s hard for her physically, emotionally and mentally that she doesn’t have long… knowing that she’s going to leave us … no matter how much she doesn’t want to and how much she wants to see my babies grow.. she won’t be here.

I have never done anything like this before never asked for help with anything and a part of me feels bad for asking. but if anyone could help, however little it would be much appreciated and I will be forever grateful.
