My mom is the strongest woman I know, and not just because she's my mom. For as long as I can remember, she has fought battles that you can't even begin to imagine. From raising 5 kids on her own to her own internal struggles she never let us see, she always did her best to make sure we had what we needed, even when she couldn't be in our presence.

Now, she has been diagnosed with stage 3b breast cancer. As much as she fought it, it's taken everything out of her. She lost her job, her health insurance, and is trying not to lose herself. This has been anything but a fair fight for her and all she wants to do is keep supporting her kids and soon her grandchild.
