Help My Mother Suffering From Cancer And Our Debt
Donation protected
Hello, I am Nikolaos Antoniou and I'm fundraising to support my family with taking care of my Mother and making sure we have a roof over our head during these trying times. My mother has had brain cancer for 8 years and she managed to beat it during that time and live a happy life. Unfortunately, the cancer came back with a vengeance about 1 year ago, and our whole family have dealt with this every day since. I'm only 20 and my brother is 24 and we were required to be at home assistance to help her and especially my Father who is the sole provider for the household. Since he wasn't able to work for almost the whole year and we were all stuck at home to help my Mother, we weren't able to pay many of our bills and we are currently under great financial crisis. As of now, my mother is completely bedridden and has been slowly deteriorating and no words can describe the emotional trauma that we have all faced through this time of slowly watching my mother suffer and not being able to do anything about it. In her current state, it isn't looking good and her liver and kidneys are failing and we don't know what the future holds. I figured since I can't work and need to show love for my mother and help her as much as I can, I could try to fundraise to help any way I could because I would feel like a failure otherwise. To be honest, I wasn't sure to put for the goal because I realize we need a lot of money to fully rid ourselves of the debt and potentially for transporting my mother to Greece to be buried, which was her final wish to us if she were to pass. I don't like asking people for money and was contemplating making this, but for my family's sake I thought it was necessary. I promise this money will go towards keeping a roof over our heads and for medical expenses to keep my mother with us and if the worst happens then towards my mother's final wish. Please do NOT donate if you can't afford to, I don't want to create crisis for others. Thank you for reading my story and hearing me out, please stay safe and enjoy your lives! <3
