Hi my name is Teresa.

I never thought I’d be here writing this… AGAIN

Not like this.

Not with doctors showing me scans full of grey cancer, spread through places they can’t fix, can’t stop, can’t even slow anymore.

Every time they scan me now, the screen looks more clouded… more grey… like something has seeped out of me!

I’m in and out of hospital constantly — hooked to medications, oxygen, machines that beep through the night while I lie there thinking about my two little girls at home. Missing school runs. Missing bedtime kisses. Missing the sound of them laughing in the next room. Missing the life I should be living with them.

And the hardest part?

Knowing what I’m going to miss next.

All the things mums are supposed to be there for — birthdays, first days of school, Christmas mornings, tooth fairies, little heartbreaks, big victories. All the things I’ve dreamed of watching them grow into. I feel the weight of every moment slipping through my fingers, and it terrifies me.

That’s why I’m starting this GoFundMe.

Not for luxuries.

Not for myself.

But so I can give my girls memories that will stay with them for the rest of their lives — memories strong enough to hold onto when I can’t.

✨ Mum taking them somewhere special

✨ Mum laughing even though she was hurting

✨ Mum giving them magic memories that cancer couldn’t touch

✨ Mum choosing joy for them, even when her own world was falling apart

I want to give them days that feel like sunshine.

Days where they don’t see the pain, the struggle, the fear.

Days that will stay with them long after I’m gone.

Thankyou so much for reading this far!
