Support Cheryl and Her Family in Hard Times

My name is Eric and we could use some help. Our family has always shied away from asking for help, even in times of need. We struggle and trudge through and find our way out of whatever we are faced with, typically with just some help from our closest family. Right now, I'm stepping out of my comfort zone, and inevitably, going to be forcing some of my family out of theirs.

Cheryl is a beloved mother, Grammy, wife, and sibling. Cheryl has been the mother I never had, and I can't express how much I owe her. But as times are hard, I can't financially help my father and her, so I'm reaching out. Just over a year ago, she was faced with lung cancer. After fighting that battle and knocking it into remission, we thought we had time to breathe. Unfortunately, she has recently been diagnosed with leukemia sped up by the previous treatment, and this is a much harder fight.

She's being treated down in Mass, and my father has been doing what he can to stay with her, but he also has bills that are starting to pile up. With the added cost of medical bills accumulating and having depleted his ETO, he's forced to decide to work or take care of her but can't do both. I'm asking if anyone has anything to help; it can ease this financial burden and hopefully help relieve at least one stressful point so she can focus on fighting and recovery.
