I was recently diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer, and it has turned my world upside down. I have always worked hard and provided for my family, raising nine children—three of whom are my grandchildren. I have never asked for help before, but now I find myself in a position where I need to reach out to others.

The costs of treatment, along with everyday living expenses like rent, auto, and food, have become overwhelming, especially now that I am on a fixed income. My children are doing their best, but they have their own families and responsibilities, and I don't want to burden them. I am doing everything I can to stay strong and positive, but I can't do this alone.

If you are able to help, your support would mean the world to me. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward my treatment and essential living costs. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering a donation. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference in my life.
