Christin's fight began not with a choice, but with a diagnosis: stage 4 metastatic colorectal cancer with a rare genetic mutation. This isn't just a medical battle; it's a fight for a home, for a future, and for the chance to simply be a mom to her two children, Castor (10) and Lily (20).
For Christin, her young son Castor is her "reason for living." She has endured rounds of chemotherapy, radiation, and infusions, all while holding onto the dream of giving him and his sister a place to finally call their own. Right now, Christin lives with a friend, in a space with no room for her family to gather and support her. This means her daughter, Lily, who so desperately wants to help with her care, has nowhere to stay. It means her mother, sisters, and brothers can't be by her side when she needs them most.
But we can change that. We can help Christin build a safe haven—a tiny capsule home that is exactly what she needs. This isn't a luxury; it's a lifeline. It's a place where Lily can stay to help with her mother's care. It's a space where her family can finally be together. It's a home where Christin can be a mom to Castor, where she can watch him grow up surrounded by love and stability.
The goal is to raise $25,000 for the tiny home itself and an additional $5000 for costs of moving it and utilities. We have graciously been given a piece of land to put this on so this is the final hurdle.
This is more than a fundraiser; it's a chance to build a family's future. Any funds that exceed the goal will go directly into a trust for Castor and Lily, securing their future and honoring their mom's incredible strength.
Every share, every donation, no matter how small, brings Christin one step closer to her dream home. Let's show her she isn't fighting alone. Let's give her family the home they deserve.
