Help Our Mom Fight Stage 3 Lung Cancer

Donation protected
Our mom has always been the strongest person we know—raising nine children on her own, giving everything she had to her family. Now, she’s facing her greatest battle yet: stage 3–4 lung cancer, despite never having smoked a day in her life and being the healthiest person i know!.

She showed us what it means to work hard, love deeply, and never give up—no matter the circumstances. She poured her entire heart into raising us and continued that same love and guidance into the lives of her 16 grandchildren, 1 great-grandchild, and many nieces and nephews. She has been the steady, selfless foundation of our family—quietly shaping generations with her strength, wisdom, and care.

In addition to her cancer diagnosis, she also lives with several autoimmune conditions that make treatment more complicated. while we are just in the beginning of this very progressed fight, we as her children want to help with navigating her care in a way that feels right for her, but unfortunately, the support she’s received so far from the medical system has been limited. Hospice was mentioned far too early, before she was even given a fair chance to explore all available options.

With that said she has been transferred to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where compassionate specialists are helping us explore the best possible care options and giving her the hope she deserves.

We are asking for help to support her through this incredibly difficult time. Your donations will go directly toward:
• Care-related travel and temporary lodging (for trips to Mayo)
• Insurance deductibles and uncovered medical costs
• Daily living expenses and healthy food, herbs and natural care.
• Comfort items and supportive care tools
• Medical treatment needs, supplements, and healing support

Every bit of support helps ensure she’s surrounded with care, dignity, and the same love she has always given so freely.

Whether you’re able to donate, share this fundraiser, or simply keep our mom in your thoughts and prayers—we are deeply grateful. Thank you for standing with us in hope and gratitude.
ALL FUND GO 100% TO MOM!!

With love and thanks,
Her nine children and the family she built with strength and love
