Hi, my name is Austin, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for help for my parents during the most difficult time of our lives.

My mom was recently diagnosed with stage 3 esophageal cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy. The treatments have taken a toll not only on her health but on our family’s stability. My dad, who has always been our provider as a cross-country truck driver, had to come off the road to care for her full-time.

With no income coming in and bills piling up, they’re now months behind on their mortgage, electric, water, and other essential utilities. They are on the verge of losing everything they’ve worked their whole lives for.

I’m currently in cosmetology school with just four months left until graduation. I so badly want to help them financially, but between school and caring for my own family, I’m unable to give them the support they urgently need.

This GoFundMe is our only lifeline right now. Every donation—no matter how big or small—will go directly toward keeping their home, keeping the lights on, and helping my mom continue her fight against cancer without the added stress of losing everything.

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this with others. Your kindness means more than words can say.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
