Help My Mom Heal After a Second Stem Cell Transplant

Donation protected
My mom is one of the strongest people I know. She’s always been the one to take care of everyone else—our family, friends, and even my grandmother, who she is still caring for now. But this past year has brought challenges that no one should have to face alone.

My mom is battling myelofibrosis, a rare and serious bone marrow disorder. After her first stem cell transplant, we hoped life would start returning to normal. Unfortunately, her body needed a second transplant, and as many of you can imagine, the road to recovery has been even harder this time.

She’s fighting every day, but this second recovery is taking longer than expected. That means more hospital stays, more medication, and more bills piling up. On top of the physical challenges, the financial burden has become overwhelming. Both my mom and dad are unable to work right now, relying only on limited government assistance and retirement funds to get by—all while continuing to care for my grandmother.

Despite everything, my mom remains tough and hopeful. She doesn’t complain, even when she’s in pain. But I can see the weight of the financial stress on her shoulders, and I want to take that away so she can focus on what truly matters: getting better.

We’re asking for help to cover medical expenses, medication, and daily living costs during this long recovery process. Any contribution—big or small—means the world to us and will go directly toward easing this financial strain so my mom can heal without worry.

If you can’t give financially, sharing this page with your friends and family would mean so much. Every share, every donation, and every prayer makes a difference.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting my mom through this fight, especially those who have been here from the beginning. She’s strong—but with your help, she can focus on healing instead of bills.
