My mom is 72 years old and has always been a strong, caring person. Recently, she was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer, and not long after, we learned she also has stage four lymphoma. These diagnoses have turned our world upside down, and now she is preparing to start chemotherapy. As her child and caregiver, I see every day how hard she fights, even when things feel overwhelming.
On top of her health battles, we are now having to move out of our house. The home has too much structural damage to be safe, and with her cancer and autoimmune issues, she needs to be in a very clean environment. It would cost too much to repair the house and make it livable, so moving is the only option for her health and safety.
The costs of her treatment are more than we can handle alone. The funds raised here will go directly toward paying the remaining balance of her medical care, helping with gas and groceries, and supporting our move to a safer place. My mom lives on a very limited income, and being 72 makes it even harder for her to keep up with these expenses. I stay with her to help as much as I can, but I also struggle with mental disabilities, which makes things even more challenging for both of us.
If you’re reading this, I hope you can put yourself in my shoes. If I were in your position and had the means, I would do everything I could to help you. Any support you can give would mean the world to us and help my mom get the care she needs. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any help you can offer.
