For the past year, my mother, Katie, has been battling severe cirrhosis of the liver and kidney disease, along with a plethora of other medical issues. It has come to a point where dialysis and treatment will no longer be effective or benefit her, and she is being placed on hospice to pass away in her home with her family.

This time will be not only incredibly difficult emotionally, but also financially, for my father, Matt, as well as my younger sister, Skylar. Any and all support is greatly appreciated.
