Help Us Give Christine the Time, Comfort, and Memories She Deserves ️

Our family is asking for help for someone who means the world to us: Christine Sepe, our mom, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend. In August 2026, our world changed when Christine was diagnosed with a recurrence of sarcoma cancer.

When we first received the news, we were told that the outlook would depend entirely on whether chemotherapy was able to slow or control the cancer. At this point, the best-case scenario is approximately one year if chemotherapy is successful, but that year would likely involve extensive treatment and many stays in the hospital.

If chemotherapy does not work, doctors believe we may only have weeks to a few months with her.

There is no definite timeline. There are no guarantees. Right now, so much depends on how mom's cancer responds to treatment. Her first round of chemotherapy began on October 3, 2026, and our family is waiting to see whether her body and the cancer respond. We are trying to hold onto hope while also facing the heartbreaking possibility that our time with Mom may be much shorter than any of us ever imagined.

Because of this, we are asking for your help.

Any money raised through this GoFundMe will go directly toward helping mom and our family through this incredibly difficult time, including:

Medical expenses and treatment-related costs.

Household bills food related expenses and living expenses as she is unable to work.

End-of-life and hospice-related care.

Transportation and other costs associated with medical appointments.

Bucket-list experiences and memories mom would like to make while she is still able

Afterlife, funeral, and related expenses.

We don't want Mom's remaining time to be consumed by worrying about bills or wondering how we will afford the things she needs. We want her to be able to focus on what matters most, being comfortable, being surrounded by the people she loves, making memories, and experiencing whatever pieces of her bucket list she is still able to enjoy.

If you know Christine, you know that she is so much more than her diagnosis. She is a mother, a sister, a daughter, an aunt, a friend, and someone who has touched the lives of so many people. Right now, our biggest wish is to give her comfort, dignity, and as many meaningful moments as possible.

If you are able to donate, no amount is too small. If you aren't in a position to donate, sharing this fundraiser, sending prayers, keeping her in your thoughts, or simply reaching out means more to our family than we can put into words.

And because Mom's heart is as big as ever, we want to make sure that any funds remaining after her medical, living, end-of-life, and afterlife expenses are taken care of will be donated in Christine's memory to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to support pediatric cancer research.

We know there are no words, donations, or gestures that can change what our family is facing. But together, we can help make the time mom has left a little easier, a little more comfortable, and hopefully filled with love, laughter, memories, and moments she will treasure. Thank you for loving my mom Christine, supporting our family, and helping us make the most of the time we have. Please keep our Mom in your thoughts and prayers as she begins this fight ️
