HELP OUR MOM WITH STAGE 4 CANCER

Donation protected
We are placed in a unfortunate circumstance where our 50year old widow mother is currently battling stage 4 Sarcoma cancer. Our mother was first Diagnosed with Thyroid cancer around February 2010 & had her Thyroid removed. Our father got sick August 2010 & passed away 01/2011 to Burkitt Lymphoma at the age of 49, when our younger brothers were 8 &10 years of age & due to our father being undocumented my brothers did not qualify for Social Security Survivors benefits (despite the fact that our father worked really hard for 22 years in the USA & paid taxes).  02/2015 Our mother fell ill again & had to get her uterus & ovaries removed (which UCSF stated had no cancer cells) along with Hernia repair.   October 2016 after falling ill again, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Sarcoma Cancer & had 20% of her lung taken out & scarped her other lung & were told by Kasier that when she had her Uterus & Ovaries removed it seemed as though it she had cancer then. It was a lot to process then & were in shock with the fear of losing our mother too & so soon! A year passed when we tried to look into a lawyer to see if there was any Medical malpractice done but were told by multiple lawyers that we let too long pass & we should have acted sooner.  Our mother opted for a Holistic approach &we respected our mothers decision to not do Chemotherapy. We asked doctors what was the guarantee if she chose to go the chemotherapy route & they said about a month more. So we chose quality over quantity. We have looked into foundations and all we could find was Where to Donate & counseling (which is covered through my mother's private insurance).  We were able to send our mother multiple times to a holistic clinic outside of the United States & she would come back a lot better but it's expensive to send her monthly, so we managed every couple months. . My mother was doing a lot better. However, July 2018 she felt ill again & went in for a CT scan & were devested to hear that cancer had spread to her right Kidney, right Liver, Stomach & fractured right rib (due to the tumor). My mother was placed in Hospice. She was doing really bad & was unable to eat without having pain, but we were able to find a Vegan Diet. Her diet was really helping her & she was starting to recover well, even though she was in Hospice care. After the Hazardous air quality in the Bay Area due to the fires, my mother fell ill again, is now constantly in use of Oxygen &  has since lost control of her legs & is in need of care 24/7 which is really hard both emotionally & financially. We are stuck trying to find the best way to help our mother out. We did not want to have to ask for money because we were brought up to work hard & not ask but our mother is getting worst every day. She was hoping to be around to finish raising our baby brother until he turns 18 & have hope it is possible & if it is not possible we want to be able to make her as comfortable as possible. Anything would help & thank you so much in advance!
