Help Vanessa and her boys

Donation protected

Hello ,

My name is Ashley. I am Vanessa's long time best friend and I'm sure as most of you are aware Vanessa is now home on hospice. She has battled stage 4 cervical cancer and fought an amazing fight. Her strength, courage, determination, perseverance, transparency and grace through this past year has been nothing short of absolute amazing. Her will to live and fight for herself, her boys and her family was done exactly the way I knew she would do it, because its just who she is. She gives even if it takes from herself, she cares forgetting at times to care about herself, she loves with every ounce of her being, she forgives even where forgiveness is not deserved, she is always there without judgment and with so much understanding. At times she has given many people way more chances than they have ever deserved why?? Because she has a heart of gold. She's an amazing mother, daughter, niece, cousin and friend. No matter the amount of time or depth of the relationship you have had with Vanessa I am 100% sure everyone would say she has touched them and she has left a lasting impression with them. She is someone that will forever be remembered. I know I created a previous Gofund me to help ness "kick cancers butt" and it absolutely kills every ounce of me to be writing this update but this Gofundme has been created to help family with arrangements for the end of life. After care and celebrations of life can be very costly and I would like to alleviate a little bit of the stress that comes with all of this for her loved ones that will be taking care of this. Anything that is left over I would like to go to her two boys Chad and Brady. Our hearts are breaking and we all are completely devastated but these two little boys are losing their mom. I can not even begin to fathom the pain and emotions their little hearts and heads are trying to process. Chad will be starting the 8th grade he is charming and caring, confident and hilarious. At just 13 he already has an extremely well rounded head on his shoulders. Brady will be starting the 7th grade. He is the most loving little boy you will ever meet. Just like his mom he loves with all he has. He will do anything he can to help and make sure you are comfortable. He is sensitive, compassionate and down right silly sometimes. They both are going to be wonderful men. Vanessa did many things well In her life but one thing she absolutely nailed is the way she has raised these boys. She has " the mom thing" DOWN!!! But no child should be faced with losing their mother at such a young age. I appreciate all of you, the kind words, prayers donations, meals, gifts, healing thoughts, they have all been so appreciated by Vanessa and all of those close to her. We all thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Please share this continue to share her heroic story that may be able to help someone else out there that is struggling. Please pray for peace and comfort for Vanessa , that she remains as pain free as possible that her broken heart is healed because I know she does not want to nor is she ready to leave this world. Pray for her boys and her family. Again all donations, shares, prayers and good thoughts are appreciated greatly. I made a promise a year ago to Vanessa that I would help make sure her babies were ok and I will fulfill that promise as long as I am here but I thank you all for helping with that. Always remember the most beautiful smile that could light up and room that belongs to one of the most amazing woman to ever walk this earth. If love could have healed her she would have been healed a million times over.
