I really don’t know how to start this. Honestly, I never thought I would need to write one again. I’m writing this not to ask for help with medical bills; sadly, we are beyond that.
My mother is an extraordinary person. I am one of many daughters and one son that have the privilege to call her our mom. Months ago, she started her fight with stage 4 lung cancer. She was killing it too. She is the strongest woman I know, so I knew she would. But recently, chemo has stopped responding; it made her sick, so we had to take a break while she heals.
While healing, she went to the ER this morning to find out her brain now has tumors, one on her brain stem. I am not only writing this as a daughter, but a mother as well and a sister. My sisters and I all have families of our own and jobs. And travel and lodging are not cheap.
I’m asking for donations so my sisters and I will have funds to travel to see her, to take off work and not be short on our bills.
I’m asking for donations so my mother can be surrounded by love and people that love her instead of hospital staff and machines. So she can go home and be cared for. I don’t know how to ask for something I don’t want. I don’t want to say goodbye. I am not ready. But if you can, please help. It would mean a lot to her and us. Thank you.
