Help my Mom with 2nd Cancer Pay for Bills

Donation protected

Growing up, my Mom was the most kindest, gentlest, strongest, career-oriented, and loving person I have ever known. She birthed myself and my 3 younger siblings and raised us to be the independent, highly educated, and community service-oriented professionals that we are today. She has over 32 years of professional experience as an essential support worker in the healthcare field in my hometown of Boston, MA. She's the BEST grandmother/Abuelita to our son, even virtually. 

Unfortunately, just 1 week before her 58th birthday in Feb 2019, she was diagnosed with uterine cancer and spent the day of her 58th birthday in the hospital. She started her radiation treatments shortly after and had a full hysterotomy in between radiation treatments. Her cancer rescinded for Winter 2019 but then, in Spring 2020, during a global viral pandemic, we learned that her cancer came back but in both of her lungs. She bravely decided to start chemo treatments shortly after. She is STILL the strongest person I have ever known. 

As you can imagine, none of this is free and she has not been able to work for several months. Her medical bills & bills for basic necessities as Boston is a VERY expensive place to live in for support health staff are piling up and she needs our help. 

Any donation would be greatly appreciated and please feel free to share this GoFundMe page to your networks at your earliest convenience. Thank you so much for your support in advance! 

Sincerely, 

Lynette & Family
