On June 15th Ive gotten the worst news of my life, my mother Marlene Enrico who has always been my rock has been diagnosed with "Gioblastoma brain cancer" she has had surgery to remove as much as possible and they coated her brain with Chemo wafers. The cancer grew on her "Left temporal" right on her "language center" she is completely non verbal for now and cannot read or write, but she comprehends. My father is almost 80 with his own health issues "bad sight in one eye" and hard of hearing, which makes me her caregiver.  At first she required intense therapy but cannot because her healing has been delayed, soon she will be entering a nursing facility where she will have basic therapy after she recuperates from her feeding tube peg they had to put into her stomach to get proper nutrition. After insurance that will leave her with a bill to pay out of pocket of about 6k or more, then if or when she does better she will enter a more intense therapy, which will be more out of pocket expenses. She starts radiation and chemo soon.

I have not been working since June 15th

I am asking for help to take care of her

I am asking for help to be able to get my child his school uniforms he starts 10th grade next month, I also have bills and gas food etc.

My father I also have to help, with even basic things like laundry..

I have never asked for help in my life but I have no other options, anything will help and be a blessing I don't know when I can return to work or even anything that is familiar.

I am the only one that can be her caregiver a job which I will proudly do. She is everything to me.

I have faith she will get better, she has to

And if you are in a tight spot please do not worry or feel you have to, but I ask for everybody to please SHARE this...

From the bottom of my heart thank you everyone, and don't take a day for granted with someone you love..
