My mom has spent years building a beautiful life for herself. She worked hard for her home, her independence, and the life she created.

Over the past several years, she has experienced severe episodes related to bipolar disorder. During her most recent manic episode, her life changed dramatically. Mental illness can take away a person’s judgment in ways that are difficult to understand unless you’ve witnessed it firsthand. In a very short period of time, she lost control of her finances and is now facing the possible loss of her home, vehicle, and the stability she worked so hard to build.

The positive news is that she is now receiving proper treatment and is no longer in a manic state. She is stable, under medical care, and trying to rebuild after an incredibly devastating period in her life.

As her daughter, I am doing everything I can to help her get back on her feet, but the financial burden has become more than I can manage alone.

I created this fundraiser to help cover essential living expenses and give my mom a chance to recover with dignity and stability. Funds raised will go toward:

• Mortgage and housing-related costs

• Groceries and basic necessities

• Transportation and bills

• Medical and recovery-related expenses

My mom is not a bad person. She is someone living with a serious mental illness who deserves support, compassion, and a second chance at stability.

If you are able to donate, share, or simply send support, it would mean more to our family than words can express.

Thank you so much for reading.
