i wanna see my mama one more time

My name is angela. my mama's name is Susan. i live in California and she lives in south dakota. growing up in a split family was never easy for my mama considering my dad had custody of my sister and i. so, she has blamed herself alot for not trying hard enough (so she says) and not having the income nor family support she needed all her life to fill certain voids and to belong to. my mama gave birth to me at a very young age so that of course played a huge roll in alot of things including the custody. living out of her car and seeing us everyother weekend was a struggle. but nothing stopped her from being the best mom i could ask for and i wouldnt change a thing about her. i love her so much and we have always lived close to one another. for a few years she was once my neibor, literally the only thing between us was a fence. but all tat changed one day when she got a call from a social worker in north Dakota that my baby sisters were about to be placed in a foster home due to the sudden passing of my baby sisters dad. and of course my mom wasnt going to let that happen so she drove from california to north dakota to get them and bring them home. well along the way in south dakota she was pulled over and charged with transportation (drugs) and has been stuck out there on probation, knowing no one she lived in her car once again in snowing conditions. this has been a few years ago and alot has happened since then, things we both missed out on. her being a grandmother to my kids, making easter bunny prints with flower and a sponge in the shape of a huge rabbit footstarting from the front door in a hopping crazy messy trail leading to our easter baskets, the amazing rice crispy treats shaped into the appropriate holiday, and the hydious knitted ugly sweaters that id be embarassed of as a kid when shed show up to my school with baked goods to let me know she would be there no matter what. (some of which i now do for my kids so that they can carry that on to their kids one day). well my mama being whatever anyone might think she is because of a few wrong choices will NEVER be anything less then the BEST MAMA EVER to me. and today i am asking for your help financialy so that i might get the oppertunity to see her one last time. today i recieved a phone call i wish never came. my mama is in the hospital 1551 miles away and was told she has terminal cancer that has spread through out her body, 4 tumors, on top of that the covid. her dr. told her the best thing to do is pick up the phone and start calling loved ones to inform us that she didnt have that much time left. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO or who to cry to,ALL I WANT IS TO SEE MY MOM AND HOLD HER. console her she must feel so alone right now and no one should have to go thru this horrible reality. i need help with gas expenses being as hard as it has been to even make ends meet let alone an unexpected event like this one. i have always been to prideful to ask for help but today all of that has no meaning all i want is my mama and i know she needs me. so please even just the smallest of help would have a huge impact because it gets me closer to my mom. im so thankful for the great minds that made this website possible for situations like mine, may the Lord bless you ten fold. there are no words to express my gratitude. AND MAMA HANG IN THERE IM COMING!
