Scared but fighting.

My name is Taylor, and I’m writing this from a hospital bed with a truth I’m still struggling to accept: I have a brain tumor.

Everything happened so fast. One day I was taking care of my kids, working, doing life—and now I’m facing surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. I’m terrified. I don’t know what recovery will look like. I don’t know how long I’ll be here. I don’t even fully know what “okay” means anymore.

What I do know is this: I’m a mom of three beautiful children who need me—and I don’t want them to see me scared, but I am. I’m scared of what’s ahead, of being away from them, of how I’m going to take care of everything when I can’t even take care of myself right now.

I’m asking for help—not just for me, but for them. This fundraiser will go toward:

Surgery, chemo, radiation, and all the medical care I’ll need

Childcare and support for my kids while I’m in the hospital or too sick to function

Basic bills, groceries, and stability while I’m out of work and trying to survive this

I never thought I’d be here—sick, scared, and asking strangers and loved ones for help just to hold my life together. But here I am. And if you’re reading this, thank you. Thank you for caring. Thank you for being part of the hope I’m clinging to.

If you can give, please do. If you can share, please do. I need all the strength, prayers, and support I can get right now.

With love and everything I’ve got left,

Taylor
