Keep Bere's Art Alive Through Illness

Hello, my name is Bere.

I’m a quilling artist, a mother, and someone who’s been living with Metastatic Breast Cancer in bone (Malignant neoplasm metastatic to bone (CMS/HCC)

Since 2017, every day has been a physical and emotional challenge.

I’m currently undergoing ongoing treatments several days a week. These treatments are necessary to keep me alive, but they leave me exhausted and in pain. Because of my health situation, I haven’t been able to work a traditional job, and the financial stress is overwhelming. I live alone, far from my family, and I carry heavy debt on top of trying to stay healthy.

Despite all this, I’ve been doing my best to keep my online art shop alive. I create handmade quilling art—personalized cards, framed designs, and gifts that are full of love and detail. Art has been my therapy, my passion, and my small source of income. But right now, the shop doesn’t cover all my needs.

That’s why I’ve created this GoFundMe: to ask for help covering my most basic living costs (like rent, food, electricity, and Copay's medication, Hospital debts $12248.40, personal debts $10000 approx.), and to give my shop a chance to keep going during this incredibly hard time.

Your support will help me keep my head above water while I focus on my health and healing. And if you’d prefer to support my shop directly, that would also mean the world to me. Here’s the link to my store: https://theqbbstudio.etsy.com.

I know times are hard for many, so if you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page with others. Every kind word, every small act of help, it all matters more than I can explain.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for believing in me.

With all my heart,

Bere
