My mother is now nearly bedridden and cannot breathe without an oxygen machine. Some days it takes hours before she remembers who I am. I am caring for her alone as she loses her long battle with cancer, and I am doing everything I can to keep her comfortable and safe. For nearly four years, my mother has been fighting multiple forms of cancer. During that time we have lived together, and I have been her primary caregiver. Until about a year ago I was still able to work full-time and support us both. But as her health declined, so did her mobility and her ability to care for herself while I was away. Eventually I had no choice but to leave my job so I could care for her full-time. For a while we found a small way to keep going. We started DoorDashing together during the day. It gave us a little income and, more importantly, time together outside the house. She loved getting out and seeing the world, even if it was just through the car window. Those moments together meant everything to us. Eventually her condition worsened to the point where she was simply too weak to ride in the car anymore. Since before Christmas I have not been able to work, and we have now nearly exhausted all of the savings I had carefully built over the years.

My mother is now almost completely bedridden. She cannot breathe without oxygen, and her memory is fading more every day. Some days she becomes frightened because she doesn’t know where she is, even though we have lived in the same home for years. Watching the strongest, kindest person I have ever known go through this is heartbreaking. She has always been my best friend as well as an incredible mother, and I am doing everything I can to care for her during this time. Unfortunately, because I could no longer keep up with the payments, her insurance has lapsed. I can no longer afford many of her medications, and we currently have no doctors helping manage her care. Our savings are almost gone, and we are getting dangerously close to not having enough money for basic necessities like food. I never imagined I would find myself in this position. I have always worked hard, paid my bills, maintained good credit, and saved faithfully whenever I could. But life sometimes brings challenges we simply cannot prepare for. We do not need much—just enough to help us get through this difficult time together. Donations will help cover: • Food and basic living expenses • Essential medications • Transportation and caregiving supplies • Allowing me to continue caring for my mother full-time Anything at all would mean the world to us. And if there is ever anything left beyond what we truly need, I promise to pay that kindness forward to help someone else who may be struggling. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you may be able to offer. Blessed be. Blessed be Sol.
