Help Nathaniel Ensure His Mom’s Wellbeing

Support for Kristin’s Care & Nate’s Transition

Hi everyone, my name is Nate Camorlinga. For those of you who know us, you know that my mom is my world. For those who don’t, I’d like to share a bit about our journey and why I’m reaching out for support today.

The Current Situation

My Mom is never sick so when she fell on the kitchen floor last Tuesday night, we knew something wasn't right. It turns out that after much testing, she has a pretty aggressive form of brain cancer.

The tumor was removed on Monday last week and we are awaiting pathology results to learn next steps in her treatment/care. This whole situation has been like an earthquake in my family. There is so much upheaval to deal with: the emotional turmoil, financial stress, treatment decisions to make, day to day disruptions with work and life, etc... This kind of health issue is not only scary from a survival perspective, but also when it comes to financial stability/livelihood.

The medical bills can be astronomical. I am very concerned quite frankly that as my Mom has had to put her new business aside, she is not at very secure place with reliable and consistent income needed to safely pay off her treatment bills. This is the MAIN reason I am going to the public for help. I love my Mom more than life itself and will do anything to help her live. If you understand this and are able/willing to throw a few dollars our way, I can't tell you how much that would help.

I should also let you know that I plan on helping my Mom as much as I can with my own efforts/ jobs and income. I am a recent graduate in the field of computer science. It’s a field I’m passionate about, and I’m eager to start my career, secure health insurance, and begin my life as a working professional. I've certainly had my ups and downs during my college years. My Mom has been a consistent and unconditional source of support through it all.

So, for the past two years, I have been living full time with my Mom and helping her in whatever I can. While being there for her has been my greatest honor, it has also meant putting my career and financial stability on hold. To step into a full-time role and provide for our future, I need to ensure my mom has the professional care and resources she deserves while I am at work.

Where the Funds Will Go
Your donations will directly impact my mom’s quality of life and health. We are raising money to cover:

  • Professional care-taking: Hiring a dedicated, full-time caretaker so I can transition into a Computer Science career.

  • Alternative Therapies: Accessing treatments outside of standard coverage that have shown great promise for her recovery/comfort.

  • Transportation Costs: Specialized transport for medical appointments and therapy sessions.

  • Physical Training: Professional physical therapy and training to help her maintain and improve her mobility.

Why This Matters
I am in the prime of my life and ready to work hard, but I cannot leave my mom’s side without knowing she is safe and supported. This fund is a bridge—it allows me to start my career and gain the financial security I need, while ensuring my mom doesn’t lose any progress she’s made.

Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us get one step closer to stability. If you aren’t able to donate, sharing this link with your network would mean the world to us.

Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your support.

With gratitude,

Nathaniel Camorlinga
