I am writing this with a heavy heart and a sense of urgency I never thought my family would face. Today, our world was turned upside down when we received the devastating news that my mom has been diagnosed with lung cancer.
This diagnosis comes at a time when we were already struggling to keep our heads above water. Just a few days before Christmas, my dad—the rock of our family—was unexpectedly laid off from his job. While we were trying to process the loss of his income and figure out how to make ends meet, things went from bad to worse. His former employer, who also provides our housing, issued us a 10-day notice to vacate. They have informed us that they are moving forward with an eviction.
Within the span of a few weeks, we have lost our financial stability, are on the verge of losing the roof over our heads, and are now facing the fight of my mother’s life.
My mom is the heart of our home. She is kind, selfless, and has spent her life taking care of everyone else. Now, she needs to focus every ounce of her energy on treatment and healing, but instead, she is overwhelmed with the fear of where we will live and how we will afford her medical care.
How Your Donations Will Help:
We are reaching out to our community, friends, and anyone with a kind heart for help. The funds raised will go directly toward:
Emergency Housing: Securing a safe place to live so my mom can undergo treatment in a stable environment.
Medical Expenses: Covering the immediate costs of co-pays, medications, and specialized care not covered by insurance.
Basic Living Needs: Helping with groceries, utilities, and transportation to and from the hospital while my dad searches for a new job.
No amount is too small. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing our story. Your prayers, positive thoughts, and any assistance you can provide mean more to us than words can express.
We believe in my mom’s strength, and with your help, we can give her the chance to fight this without the crushing weight of homelessness hanging over her.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support during the hardest chapter of our lives.
