I wanted to state a few things I am going through with all of you since you are my friends. I was recently diagnosed with uterine cancer. My mom died of this and my sister had it two times. I am having two surgeries within the upcoming months, and I’m trying to make sure I can care for AJ.

Like everyone, I work 2 jobs, but I will not receive full income and I will have medical bills and costs to care for AJ when I am recovering. I’m trying to figure out how to care for AJ in the midst of this - mentally, financially and overall maintaining his stability. 

I have started this fundraiser for us because I have you guys and at this moment, we need lots of love and support. I’ve been fortunate to have had great jobs, to save diligently, and to buy a home. But when you have a child with disabilities and step away from work for five years so he can receive daily therapy, everything changes.

My savings were drained in the process. I sold nearly everything to make sure AJ had what he needed. Since then, my focus has been on holding it together mentally—staying strong, steady, and present so I don’t fall apart

Now I’m navigating this new chapter, doing everything I can to survive it and remain as strong as possible for AJ. I’m asking for help to cover medical costs, lost income and extra support for my AJ. Every donation makes a real difference for us.

Thanks so much for your support!

Zinnia and AJ
