Help with my mom's journey with stage 4 Cancer

Donation protected
Hi my name is Raquel me and my family are having a hard time right now. Last year in October my mom was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer stage 4 meaning it is aggressive and there is no way to cure it or stop it from running its course. We have tried everything for my mom. We have taken her to Colorado for treatment and medical care. We have done her immunotherapy. The doctors have finally told us that the treatments are not working to prevent the cancer from worsening, and it is only putting our mother in more pain and prolonging the process. Death is inevitable. So we have decided to put my mom in hospice care at home. In this process bills have been overwhelming. We have tried so hard not to ask for help and try to do it on our own, but the constant trips to Colorado and paying her bills while she is sick is very overwhelming for us and continue to be as things are worsening. I have personally been working so much and still trying to take care of my mother's needs. My brother Antonio has stepped up to be her primary care provider meaning he cannot work to be there full time for my mother, but the bills are overwhelming. Now that my mom is in her last stages in life I do not want to wait for last minute to be struggling this situation it is stressful enough and we need as much support as possible. The money would go to help with any medical equipment not covered by Medicaid, her bills, and funeral cost when the time comes. My mom has always been a great contributor to her community. She is the mom of the block, and a amazing cook. She was the house all the kids would go hang out at. She loved baking cakes for young girls Quinceanera's and weddings and at times did it for free to help families out. She touched every one's heart that knew her. She used to have a daycare and lots of the kids that she babysat still love her till this day. She has helped her Latin community as well by assisting Spanish speakers with help as far as immigration appointments, filling out job applications, or even going as far as helping them with there kids educational meetings and going above and beyond what a person should to help others. Our hearts are broken to have to ask and mostly to have to say our beautiful mother will be leaving us soon. I know many people love my mom and have been reaching out to see what they can do to help and this is what we need help with the most. Having this financial burden lifted from us will make it easier for us to focus on the last moments we have with our beloved mother. This is truly a nightmare and the most heartbreaking thing to go through with a parent. We thank all those who have prayed and continue to pray for my mom and our family. We ask if you can help with anything please do so anything will help no amount is to little.
