Hello… I never imagined I’d be needing to make a GoFundMe page, but yet, here I am. I am a single mother of 2 beautiful and loving children. I am here to ask for help (as hard as this is for me). My family and I have been faced with challenges this year and are to the point where I am coming to all of you for help.

Back in August of this year, my aunt and uncle and their puppy moved in with me. His name was BoBo and the kids LOVED him. It was so heartbreaking when we had to re-home him, as it was not ideal for him to stay with us as we couldn’t provide him the level of care and support he needed. We miss you “BoBo Mac-a-chino” (the kids wanted me to put that in there lol). They were living in an extended stay hotel room, and I knew I needed to step up for them both. My uncle had strokes on both sides of his brain years ago. Since then, he has fought HARD to relearn everything and has been wheelchair-bound and needs 24/7 caregivers. He’s so smart and is one funny guy, even after all he’s been through.

My aunt was diagnosed in September of 2025 with stage 4 metastatic cell cancer, which we found out spread from her lungs to her liver and to her brain. I spent a lot of time with my aunt growing up; most of my memories are with her. She helped raise me, and she did the BEST she could for me. Even to this day, after we got back from her chemotherapy, she was trying to cook this entire dinner! I told her and begged her to sit down and relax (almost had to force her to lay her head and rest). She’s always doing everything she can for the people she loves. I am eternally grateful for her. I don’t know what I’d do without her.

Unfortunately, she’s not able to work anymore, and I had to resign from my job because I can’t afford to put my son in daycare. It’s becoming unmanageable, and the bills continue to pile up. It’s now to the point we are “robbing Peter to pay Paul.” I was able to make it through Christmas and the new year but now I don’t know what we are going to do.

With love & appreciation,

Our family
