Shannon's battle with cancer

Donation protected
Hello everyone, this isn't something my mom does and she prefers to help people and is the last to ask for help herself. My mom is a wonderful mother to me and my 13 year old brother Caleb, and an awesome "Momo" to her six grandbabies--spoiling them as much as she can. 
But, in April of this year my mom (Shannon Sutton) was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer that has spread to her bones.  This was a devestating diagnosis as she had been in pain for a few months dealing with, what we thought, was pain from a car accident when someone rear ended her.  She has remained positive throughout this journey even though she is in constant pain, frequently her pain goes unmanaged.  
 After radiation treatment and several rounds of chemo, she is currently in chemo management, where she goes and receives chemotherapy every 3 weeks indefinitely.  This drug, while prolonging her life, takes an awful toll on her body.  It is hard for her to attend work every day, and my dad also has been taking off of work to help take care of her.  
I come to you all asking for help! I am very helpless in this process but one thing I can do is reach out to you in their time of need.  I am trying to raise some funds that will help purchase a lift recliner for my mom.  She is unable to sleep in a bed due to her pain, and spends a lot of her time in a recliner.  There are some days where the random muscle and joint pain makes it hard for her to get out of the chair herself.  The remaining funds will be given to my parents to help cover some of their co-pays for the countless doctors appointments and to slightly help with the loss of income. 
Anyone who knows my mom, knows she loves to help people in any way that she can, whether its through service, monetary donations, or offering prayers. So, I am asking if any of you could help pay it forward on her account.  I understand it's a hard time of year for everyone, and any funds will be greatly appreciated.  If you can't help monetarily (and even if you can), please please please pray for her healing and comfort, as that is worth more than any amount of money that can be given.  
Thank you so much for loving my mom and family! Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions.
