I’m Sros Ly, a loving mom, a big sister, and a woman who has always put everyone else before herself.

Right now, I’m fighting SCHIZOPHRENIA and CANCER at the same time. The pain is unbearable — I can barely sleep, and she often tells me I just wants the pain to stop. I didn’t want to live anymore. My heart broke hearing that. The only thing keeping myself going is my little son. I worries constantly, “Who will take care of him if I’m gone?”

My life hasn’t been easy. After my mom’s divorce, I became the one who took care of her four younger siblings. I worked her whole life to feed them, raise them, and give them a better future. I was doing well before, had my own businesses and was proud of what I built. But after the economy crashed, I lost everything. Now I’m living in debt, without a house, and trying to survive each day with this illness.

What hurts the most is that my siblings, the ones I raised and sacrificed everything for, have turned away. I’m left alone to face this pain, with no one to help me.

If you can help in any way, even a small amount it will mean the world. Every dollar will go toward her medical treatment, medication, and helping me get through this dark time.

Please, help me bring some light back into my life. I’m tired, but I’m still fighting for her son, for a chance to live, for hope.

Thank you so much for reading and caring. Your kindness truly matters.

Sros Ly,
