My sister, Carmen Mashburn, has always been a source of strength and kindness for our family and everyone who knows her. Recently, she received the difficult diagnosis of ALS, and our lives have changed in ways we never expected. As of this week, Carmen will no longer be able to work, and the uncertainty of what lies ahead has been overwhelming for all of us.

Carmen now faces not only the challenges of her illness but also the financial strain that comes with it. The funds raised through this campaign will help her cover essential bills and the travel expenses required for her ongoing doctor visits. Every bit of support will help ease her burden and allow her to focus on her health and well-being, rather than worrying about making ends meet.

Any support—whether a donation or simply sharing this fundraiser—means the world to us. We are deeply grateful for your kindness and hope that, with your help, Carmen can find comfort and hope during this difficult time. Thank you for standing with us and for being part of Carmen’s journey.
