Mom don't leave me
Donation protected
My mom has always been there for me, she's seen me at my very worst, as well as my best. About a month ago we found out she has cancer... stage 4 melanoma. It's scary, it's honestly so terrifying to find out that the person you love most in this world, the person that would give up anything for me or anyone in my family, always gives me and my sister unconditional love, no matter what happens, and she could die. But we found a solution, a clinic in Mexico that has almost basically a cure for her type of cancer, and we decided to go along with it. Money wasn't easy to come by but with the help of amazing friends and family, we were able to scrounge up just enough for the trip and her treatment. Her treatment consisted of natural and organic methods of weakening the cancer and boosting her immune system, and it was working! Three weeks she was supposed to be at this clinic continuing all these treatments, and then on the last week she would get what's called the rigvir virus, a virus that cannot sustain itself in the human body for a while, but when it is in your system it finds and destroys malignant cancer cells. http://veritalife.com/rigvir-cancer-killing-virus/?gclid=CMr46qrlg9QCFUN_vQodETQNUA

So one week exactly goes by at this clinic, with great results so far, and one day I get a call from my dad that my mom is in the hospital unconscious... fear, it's fear more than any other emotion that engulfs me, fear of the unknown and what to expect. We couldn't have her be in a hospital in Mexico, because we don't have insurance there, but luckily it's very close to the border of California by San Diego, so here she lays in the hospital where my sister and I flew in the very next day. Turns out my mom has three tumors in her brain, one of which is about 4 cm big, and in the front of her head, pressing on some nerves that prevents her from being able to talk. One of the tumors started bleeding, and caused her brain to swell up and be unconscious for almost a full day. She knows what's going on around her, and she's responsive to the point where she can say yes or no, but when she wants to talk she cannot find the words, she can't even write full sentences, because she can't think of what words to use. I know my mom and I know she's strong, she's already been through so much, and I know for a fact she is capable of doing whatever it takes to survive. The worst part about cancer is that when it happens to you or someone you love, there is almost nothing I can do to help, all I can do is be here with her and support her as she suffers one of the worlds worst, cruel, and merciless diseases. So now, with all our money gone for her treatment we can't even bring her home to a hospital in Illinois where she could be near friends and family. I don't know what else to do, all I want is to hear my moms voice again and be able to experience as much as I can by her side. I know she doesn't want to give up and I know that there is a chance even if it's a .1% chance I can't give up and I know she won't because she wouldn't for me. Anything that anyone can give is hugely appreciated and greatly admired.
