Xavier, Phoenix & Mason❤️'s of my life.

Donation protected
My name is Mom. At least that's what I try to convince myself of. That am a mom of three young men. Xavi 16, Phi 14 & Mae 10. You can call me Patricia. My story is no different than millions of families across the world who are suffering due to one thing or the other. But am not telling my story am telling theirs. My boys have been taking care of me with stage 3 breast cancer since 2020. My body has not recovered from the treatments & on going medication I take daily. May 2023 I was hospitalized with an Ischemic stroke.
I lost the use of my left side of my body, I am unable to care for myself however I am regaining my memories. Not being able to do for myself is one thing but not being able to take care of the needs for my boys & the upcoming school year is another.
I don't know what will happen next: God heals my body, blesses me with a job or God takes me home. Am prepared for the latter. My life I have no real regrets except failing as a mother. After my husband passed & the boys and I overcame homelessness two yrs ago. I thought a great change was coming. Only to fall victim to the Corona virus in more ways then one. Xavier went in a coma from Corona-19. I almost lost him. Xavi my protector. Even after he came out his coma. He said mom are you okay? Phoenix is such a beautiful young man with a soul to match. He never asks for anything. And Mason he is going to be someone who makes a difference in the future.
These babies have a opportunity to become exceptional young men of color who will strive to become productive, trustworthy, responsible citizens & family men.
I need help! It's not easy for me to reach out. Along our journey we have come across wonderful people from all walks of life. I wish before I leave this crazy, wonderful world to repay the kindness I forgot existed. Until that time comes can you look inside yourselves to assist me in acquiring school clothes, shoes, coats, bookbags & supplies.
My boys go through so much & it hurts me to my very core to know I have nothing to give them. So, if their story has touched you please help to give them what they need to continue to be their very best.

One parent to another, one daughter to another, to one human being to another. I thank you with all I am.
