On Thursday, May 22nd, I rushed my husband, Thomas Talbert to the ER. After a series of scans and tests, we were told something no one ever wants to hear: they found a mass in his right frontal lobe.

We’re now facing an agonizing wait for answers. A biopsy is scheduled for Monday, and until then, we live in limbo — scared, overwhelmed, and doing our best to stay grounded.

While the diagnosis is still unknown, what is clear is that he’ll need significant care and support — possibly for a long time. As the end of the month nears, I’m doing everything I can to keep our home steady, but I can’t do it alone.

I'm asking for help so we can stay afloat through this storm. Your support will help cover rent, bills, food, and the essentials that keep our humble Kettering Ohio household going — including care for our two big, beautiful boy cats, our sweet lady rat, and the little garden we’ve poured love into.

We’ve built a quiet, creative life together, and I want to protect it while we face this frightening chapter. Every dollar, share, or kind word makes a real difference.

Thank you for holding space for us.

With infinite love and gratitude,

MeeMee Gomez Talbert
