Support Carol and Her Family During a Challenging Time

Hello, my name is Karen, and I'm starting this GoFundMe to support my dear friend, Carol, a dedicated mother of two who is going through an incredibly trying time. Carol is a resilient and loving single parent who has been raising her children alone after the sudden loss of their father four years ago.

Story:

Over the past year, Carol has faced immense challenges. Her youngest son, Patrick, has been dealing with serious health issues that have required frequent medical attention and procedures. Earlier this year, Carol had to take time off work to care for Patrick, exhausting her PTO and relying on FMLA leave, which is unpaid.

Recently, Patrick's oncology follow-up revealed an abnormality on his thyroid. A biopsy confirmed that further intervention is necessary, and Patrick is scheduled for surgery next month. This news has been overwhelming emotionally, physically, and financially for Carol, as she continues to juggle being a full-time caregiver and sole provider for her family.

Why Your Help Matters:

Carol works tirelessly to provide for her children, but the financial strain of unpaid leave, mounting medical bills, and daily living expenses has become too much to bear alone. With your support, we can help Carol cover:

Medical bills and expenses related to Patrick’s surgery and follow-up care.

Household expenses during the time Carol needs to take off work.

Other necessities to ensure her family is supported through this difficult time.

How You Can Help:

No parent should have to choose between being there for their child during a medical crisis and paying the bills. Your contributions, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in Carol's life and give her the breathing room to focus on what matters most—her children.

Please consider donating and sharing this page to spread the word. Together, we can help Carol navigate this challenging time with hope and support.

Thank you for taking the time to read Carol's story. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to her and her family.
