Our mom, Maria Esbeidi Silverio - a mother of five and direct provider for four of us - recently underwent a major spinal surgery to remove a tumor. The recovery process has been much harder and longer than expected, and she will need ongoing rehab, in-home care, physical therapy, and transportation support for many weeks ahead.

She is currently in Chattanooga, away from home and family, and will be facing a long recovery timeline that includes:

• Intensive physical therapy and rehab

• In-home care services

• Transportation costs for rehab and appointments

• Help with bills, food, and everyday essentials during this period

Our mom has always been the heart of our family - working hard to care for us. Now we want to do everything we can to help support her recovery and give her the best chance at getting back on her feet.

Any funds raised will go toward rehab costs, home care, therapy, transportation, and family living expenses while she heals.

Thank you so much for your support — anything helps. ❤️
