One lone survivor with a bucket list

My name is Tyler and my mom's name is Darlene and we have four very loving dogs. Ever since I was 12 we've been fighting cancer. I had bone cancer just below my right knee and it has effected me severely both physically and mentally ever since it took three years to fully recover and I managed to finish high school but just after my 21st birthday I had found out that I had a tumor wrapped around my left kidney and it had to be removed during my treatment my mom had discovered a large bruise on her breast and it turned out to be breast cancer and she had to have a double mastectomy but even that was not enough and the cancer has mutated several times and now is in her bones, mostly in her back and rips. This December will be her third year anniversary of the discovery of her cancer not only is she dealing with cancer she is also disabled from a motorcycle accident she had in which she lost her leg and I wasn't even supposed to be born dur to her organs being damaged and soon after that. In 1993 she had to have a pacemaker added to her heart after discovering the hard way she had WPW (Wolf Parkins and White .) A disease that causes too many electoral pathways in your heart. She ended up having several surgeries to try and fix her heart but only with a pacemaker. Recently my doctor's have found a lump on my left lung and will have to be surgically removed in order to find out what cancer it is and what treatment will work best. Once again all of our plans have been cancelled and we will need extra finances to cover our travels. I have been unable to get a job and it looks like I won't be able to get one anytime soon so I'm asking for any support that can be given. We were planning on going on a trip to Pennsylvania and visit my mom's only and best friend she's had since highschool and also see my mom's home town along with the farm she grew up on we also were going to use our passports to see Niagara falls in Canada. In addition we have a couple of cars we have been trying to restore because of their sentimental value we have with them one is a 1982 El Camino and the other is a 1973 Buick Apollo. They were both purchased by my mom's fiance who died last year in September, he had intended on restoring them with me so we could bond over our love of cars but we were unable to due to my cancer and we had planned on doing it after I was done with treatment sadly he passed away when I only had two treatments left. Now it looks like I won't have any long term goals anymore so now this is a bucket list fund, I know it might seem like a waste but please there is so much that I haven't done. I've never even been in love or been on a date before and I've always wanted to see where my mom grew up and see the Niagara falls. So please if you can spare anything I would appreciate it very much
