A single mom of two that lost her mother and brother

Hi, my name is Natasha. I am fundraising for myself and my two daughters that are 12 and 5. I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer 2 years ago. At the time my mother took an early retirement from her career in the health care industry in Alberta she came out to Kelowna to help me with the kids during my cancer treatment. Tragically, one week from the completion of my cancer treatment my mother unexpectedly became ill w and passsed away. My only brother also passed awat in 2018. My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed 6 months ago with type 1 diabetes and is fully insulin dependent and on a pump. Lastly 2 months ago I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease which is autoimmune disease which may have been brought on from the cancer treatment. I am out of options and struggling with bills, food, housing and all the medical bills and supplies required. I have exhausted all of my options for support and due to my current health condition it’s been difficult to work. I am a hard worker and have a very hard time even asking for help, but I don’t have anywhere else to turn. I have medical bills on top of all my other expenses. I’m just a mom that is trying to survive through the most horrific life events, and just can’t seem to get on my feet long enough to stay there. Any help would be life saving.. thank you and god bless

I’ve created this fundraiser on behalf of my dear friends, Sarah and James, who are enduring every parent’s worst nightmare — the loss of their beloved son, Leo.

We’re heartbroken to share that our dear friend Alex passed away far too soon. His light, his laughter, his incredible spirit — they touched so many, and his absence is deeply felt.

Hi everyone — Angela here, writing on behalf of Matthew (for now). On December 6th, completely out of the blue, Matthew suffered a severe stroke.
