Mary's Fight to help keep her alive for her kids!

*****UPDATED 08/21/23**** So Mary is still waiting to go through her first Chemo session which they had planned for 8/18 but was denied for no insurance. She has another appointment on 8/25 which will probably be canceled as well due to no insurance. Hoping her insurance kicks in on Sept 1st. Mary is in good spirits and has a heart filled with gratitude right now for all the prayers and everyone that has donated so far. She is a soldier and she isn't ready to quit the fight just yet. If you can help please do and don't be embarrassed to donate 5 dollars do what you can. You don't understand the magnitude your kindness can do for someone... Love you guys and God Bless everyone for taking the time to read... ******

Hi, my name is Mark, and I'm trying to help my cousin who I grew up with! Her name is Mary Cruz and she is a very special MOM to 3 kids. Daniel is 25 and is able to take care of himself and is married and has blessed Mary with her first grandchild. Mary has an 8-year-old named Giovanni who is a bright kid in school and she hasn't been able to be there for him to help send him off. She has a daughter named Desarey that has been a blessing and was told she wasn't going to live past 4 years old. Desarey is now 23 years old and requires 24-hour care and Mary has been there every step of the way. Desarey has cerebral palsy and MR(mental retardation), she has a vp shunt that helps fluid drain out of her brain and eats through a feeding tube. Desarey can't stand or sit alone. Mary has been a SUPER mom to her kids since day one and we need your help to help her get through this difficult time.

Mary hasn't been in the workforce because of the 24-hour care it takes for her daughter. She has no insurance and has been struggling with lupus for a couple of years now. She just received her biopsy and it showed she has Class IV Lupus Nephritis. The issue is this lupus has attacked her kidneys and she is now required to go through Chemo Treatments for the next 6 months. Her GFR levels are at 18% and at 60% percent you have kidney disease and at 10% you need dialysis and a kidney transplant. Mary has started treatment already and I'm hoping that it's going to help her.

Why this gofundme? This is to help with the medical bills and to help save her life to continue being the mom her kids need. She doesn't have insurance or any kind of assistance at this time so anything will help. Not sure how far we can get this to go but I promise you this from the bottom of my heart, she is deserving of this help. If you can find it in your heart to help just know it will go to a good cause a good woman and a great mother. God bless and thank you for taking the time to read this. Hope you find it in your heart to help!
