Help bring piece and comfort to a loving family

Donation protected
Dear friends and family,

Our family is facing an incredibly difficult chapter. Our mom has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. This heartbreaking news has deeply impacted all of us, but we remain focused on surrounding her with love, support, and as much time together as possible.

She is currently in Mexico, seeking peace and healing through natural treatment. During this time, the most important thing is that she is not alone — that her family can be close, offering love, comfort, and strength through every moment.

We are raising funds to relieve the financial pressure — physically, emotionally, and mentally. These donations will help:

Give family members the ability to take time off work to spend meaningful time with her

Support travel for those visiting or staying with her

Cover any other needs the family may face during this uncertain and emotional time

Our goal is to make sure the time she has is filled with love, presence, and care — not stress or distance. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us move closer to that goal. If you’re not able to give financially, please consider sharing this page or sending prayers and positive thoughts.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, generosity, and support.

With gratitude,
Shirk Family
