Help my mum with her bucket list
Donation protected
Hey everyone!
So this is my mum Leanne, the picture seen was taken of her a couple of days ago enjoying the zoo on one of the first times she has been able to go out. In February 2020 she went into hospital with suspected covid but sadly was given even worse news.. She was diagnosed with liver metastases. This means she started with bowel cancer that unfortunately spread to her liver.
My mum has spent the whole of this pandemic battling a cancer that ultimately cannot be cured in any way. As of January 2021 we found out that the chemotherapy she was receiving had stopped working and they would have to try and attempt a stronger type of chemotherapy to see if that would help. Unfortunately a couple of days ago we were given the saddening news that the second attempt was also not working. They have now moved her onto tablets to prolong her life as long as possible.
Throughout all this, my aunt has been her full time carer. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it is to look after someone full time with cancer, let alone a sister. She has been amazing with my mum but work had to be cut down and they aren't really getting much in terms of carers allowance.
Which leads me to this fundraiser for her. I would love for my mum to be able to go away on a small holiday in the UK. It's the least she deserves and something that was on her bucket list to be able to do before the inevitable. Anything else we raise will go towards her being able to go to blackpool pleasure beach for the day which is something else she would really like to do.
Thank you in advance for any donations you can give, even if only a pound. It all adds up! And thank you for reading our story.
