I am a mother of two wonderful children who both have a genetic disorder that requires my full-time care and attention. Because of their needs, I am unable to work outside the home. Recently, our family faced another devastating challenge: my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma in his brain. This diagnosis has left him unable to work, and I am now his full-time caregiver as well.

With both of us unable to earn an income, we are struggling to keep up with our basic living expenses. The money raised through this fundraiser will go directly toward our mortgage, phone bill, utilities, car and car insurance, medical bills, and groceries. Every dollar will help us keep our home, maintain our health, and provide for our children during this incredibly difficult time.

We have no family nearby to lean on, so any help you can offer will be deeply appreciated and respectfully used. I am the sole caregiver for three people and would gladly work if I could. If the stress of money and bills was eased, or if I could even hire some help, it would make a world of difference for our family. Thank you for considering supporting us—we are grateful for any kindness you can share.
