My mother, Kerry Brown, was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2017 and following many surgeries, was NED for most of 2019. In October  my mom began to complain about a pain in her chest and by February she had gone to get scans done and we found that it was a gelatinous cancerous mass in-between her lung and rib on her right side and it had begun eroding her ribs. This in its self was devastating but was only followed up by the knowledge of another mass found around her hip area. The second mass is completely inoperable and means that she will be on chemo for the rest of her life.  

By being on chemo for the rest of her life, she will not be able to work and will lose her job. This has brought up the topic of selling our family home to avoid the stress of house payments and moving in with my grandparents. This was devastating to me because this meant all the memories we built in the house would be impossible to revisit physically. All the times we sat and watched movies, cooked dinner, and even cried together about how much of an awful thing cancer is would be impossible to sit in the same room it happened and feel like it’s still there in the moment.  My house seems like it’s the only thing I can control changing right now. We still owe about $100,000 on it and I would really appreciate tobe able to take the stress off of my parents and stillbe able to wake up in the same house I made the memories with my mom in.
My mom is absolutely the most amazing woman I have ever met and I truly believe I would still say that even if I were not her daughter. She is the most selfless and beautiful woman inside and out. I would really like to be able to do this for her right now because I am scared I won’t be able to repay everything she has done for me in the future when I would be financially able.
my family and I appreciate everything anyone can do for us.
