Our family has been shaken by the diagnosis of Bone cancer in my eldest son Raymond who will require intensive chemotherapy and surgery in Sydney over the next 12 months which is over 100km from home.

He will be provided accommodation as a patient however myself and my other children need to provide our own and our extended stay in Sydney to support him this past week has completely exhausted my savings as I'm unable to work to generate more money while I'm away I'm concerned how I'm going to be able to provide the support he needs which is more emotional support then anything because this is a huge thing for a 20 year old to be facing..I am his mother and I need to be there with him, those who know our past situation know I can't miss any time spent with him supporting him in the way he deserves when we are making up for lost time already :(

I'm not good at asking for help but this is so important I'll swallow my pride and beg if it means I can be there for my baby..if you can spare a few dollars which will be used solely for travel costs and basic accommodation it would be much appreciated.
