Strangers May Have Saved My Life
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Sarah French, and I’m running this GoFundMe for my mother, Lisa-Marie French. We recently discovered she has an aggressive form of breast cancer, and she is not the type of person who feels she can ask for help in a time like this. So, I am asking on her behalf, because it is the least I can do after all she has done and sacrificed for me.
This is the hardest journey she has ever faced, but it is also one of the most expensive. Even though my parents have always been the kind of people who try to manage on their own, I know they cannot afford this alone. Everything has happened so fast in an effort to save her life, leaving little time to process the emotional and financial impact. My mom has had to undergo surgery to have one of her breasts completely removed—a physical and emotional pain I cannot even begin to imagine.
Life was finally starting to look up for my parents, only for this devastating diagnosis to turn everything upside down. As their child with them getting this newfound medical debt they never anticipated, I can’t help but worry about whether they’ll have dinner on the table after working themselves to exhaustion everyday.
I wish I could help them in a greater way, but this GoFundMe is the best I can do with what I have. It’s incredibly hard for me to put myself out there like this, and to be honest, I feel embarrassed to ask for help. But when it comes to my parents, I’m willing to do whatever it takes to support them, just as they have always taken care of me.
To anyone who is able to donate, there are no words that could ever express how grateful we are for your support. And for those who cannot donate but are here to offer love, encouragement, or prayers, you are just as appreciated. Your kindness means more than we could ever say.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your support, in any form, means the world to my family and me.
