Hjälp min kroniskt sjuka mamma som nyligen fått diagnosen bröstcancer ❤️

Min mamma lever redan med flera kroniska sjukdomar (ME/CFS, Ehlers Danlos syndrom, fibromyalgi och dysautonomi) som gör att hon knappt kan lämna hemmet och inte längre kan arbeta. Hon har även problem med levern och bukspottskörteln.

På grund av hennes komplexa hälsosituation har all medicinsk cancerbehandling uteslutits av flera specialister. Operation är det enda aktuella behandlingsalternativ. Det gör en redan svår och oviss situation ännu mer utmanande.

Pengarna från den här insamlingen ska hjälpa mamma och pappa att få så bra förutsättningar som möjligt under den här svåra tiden. Dom ska kunna lägga energin på mammas välmående, få vardagen att fungera, få hjälp med resekostnader och annat som tillkommer, samtidigt som dom får större ekonomiska möjligheter att prioritera en näringsrik och varierad kost och andra behov kopplade till mammas hälsa. Hon märker en tydlig skillnad i sitt mående när hon har möjlighet att fokusera på en mer näringsrik kost. Framför allt vill vi att hon ska få bästa möjliga förutsättningar att stärka sin hälsa och kunna njuta av livet så mycket som möjligt, trots allt hon går igenom.

Pappa arbetar heltid och tar samtidigt hand om mamma och det mesta i vardagen. samtidigt som han själv kämpar med egna hälsoproblem. Jag vill kunna minska den ekonomiska oron för dom så gott det går, så att dom kan lägga mest energi på att må så bra som möjligt.

Nästa år firar dom 40 år som gifta. Dom har gått igenom mycket tillsammans och har alltid funnits där för andra, sett människor som kanske inte alltid blir sedda och gett oss barn och ingifta barn ovillkorlig kärlek. Nu vill jag göra allt jag kan för att hjälpa dom.

Varje bidrag, stort som litet, betyder otroligt mycket. Om du inte har möjlighet att bidra får du gärna dela insamlingen vidare.

Jag organiserar den här insamlingen som en överraskning för mina föräldrar. Donationerna kommer att tas emot av mig och därefter föras över direkt till dem, så att pengarna kan komma till nytta där de behövs som mest under den här svåra tiden.

Tack från djupet av våra hjärtan för att ni läser, delar och vill hjälpa mina fina föräldrar genom det här. ❤️

I am organising this fundraiser as a surprise for my parents, to give them some financial breathing room during an incredibly difficult time. The donations will therefore be received by me and transferred directly to them, so the funds can be used where they are needed most during this difficult time.

My best friend, my beautiful mum, has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, and our family is facing a time filled with worry and uncertainty.

Alongside her cancer diagnosis, my mum lives with several chronic illnesses, including severely debilitating ME/CFS, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), dysautonomia and fibromyalgia. She also has health issues affecting her liver and pancreas.

Unfortunately, due to the extreme complexity of her overall health situation, all forms of medical cancer treatment have been ruled out by specialists. Surgery is the only treatment option being considered. This makes an already difficult and uncertain situation even more challenging.

My mum is one of the kindest and strongest people I know. She has always put others before herself and cared for those around her, especially people who are vulnerable or often overlooked.

She has struggled with her health for as long as I can remember, but over the past few years her condition has declined rapidly. She is now mostly confined to her home, and often her bed. Before her health declined, she loved going camping with my dad, spending a lot of time with their grandchildren, friends and family, and taking long walks in nature with our dogs. Today, she can usually only manage very short walks or trips to medical appointments.

With everything she is going through, my mum also has to deal with financial uncertainty. She is unable to work due to her chronic illnesses, leaving her and my dad in a worrisome financial situation at a time when they already have so much to cope with.

My dad works full-time while also caring for my mum and taking care of most of the household responsibilities, including grocery shopping and everyday tasks. He also has his own health problems, and I worry about the strain and stress this puts on him.

Even with the healthcare available in Sweden, illness brings additional expenses. Travel to appointments, everyday living costs and other health-related needs can quickly add up.

We also want to give my mum access to nutritious, varied food, which is expensive. She notices a real difference in her health when she is able to focus on a more nutritious diet. More than anything, I want her to have the best possible support for her overall health and to enjoy life as much as she can despite everything she is facing.

I want my parents to be able to worry less about money and everyday expenses, and focus more on my mum’s wellbeing and care.

Next year, my parents will celebrate 40 years of marriage. They have shared so much of their lives together and have been the best parents I could ever ask for. They have always been there for others, offering unconditional love and support. Now, as they face this difficult chapter, I want to do everything I can to make things a little easier for them. They deserve to face this next chapter with as much support and peace of mind as possible.

Every donation, no matter how small, would mean so much to our family. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would also be an enormous help.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, sharing, and helping in any way you can. ❤️
