Keeping Loved Ones Close: Fighting Cancer & Hardships

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Shay, and I'm reaching out to ask for your support for my mother, Kizzy, and grandmother. For over a decade, my mom has been a dedicated caregiver to my grandmother, but the past 2 last years have brought immense financial strain.

In 2022, my grandmother was diagnosed with Lung Cancer. Grandma received 15 rounds of radiation to help reduce a tumor on her neck that has since then traveled to her brain. Despite her best efforts, my mom has lost four different jobs while juggling caregiving responsibilities and managing the financial burdens associated with my grandmother's care.

Recently, the financial demands have intensified, and my mom is struggling to keep up. We are now faced with the difficult decision of potentially having to place my grandmother in a nursing home, something we desperately want to avoid.

Your donation, no matter how small, would go a long way in helping us cover the mounting medical bills, caregiving costs, and everyday expenses that have become overwhelming for my family. Your generosity would provide much-needed relief and allow my mom to continue caring for my grandmother in the comfort of her home.

Thank you for considering our situation, and please share our story with others who may be able to help.
