R.i.P Mom-- we gained an awesome angel (ongoing)

Donation protected
My mom anna has been a strong woman all her life.. she grew up as an only child to my grandma.. growing up she had a hard life but she surpassed the past and created her life with her children.. 

She has 5 kids in total who love her dearly.. she did all she could as a single mother.. she went above and beyond and those who got to meet her know she would welcome you in to the family with open arms.. she was a quiet, calm n loving woman.. she did her best to help any one in need.. she wouldnt judge u or talk down on you cause she understood the struggle... if anything she treated u as if u were actually part of the family.. 

On October 2019 she was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma).. as u know cancer is no joke.. she was as scared as her kids were but she managed to get up every morning to shower n do her make up.. n still make her kids breakfast.. unfortunately we came across a time where she was no longer able to do it and her kids took the mother roll for her.. cooking for her, doing her laundry, making sure she makes it to her appointments n going shopping for her lil necessities.. 

On august 2020, she was having a difficult time breathing on her own. So we took her to the hospital where she has been at ever since.. unfortunately, one thing after another has been happening and although we hoped for good news... we have not received any.. if anything we need to be prepared for what's to come even though we arent ready for it.. 

Her only kidney left is starting to fail.. shes retaining water, her legs are swollen n her cancer has spread.. we still continue to hope for some good news but as of right now.. we wanna show my mom that no matter the circumstances that we are prepared to deal with this head on and that she wouldnt put a burden on us.. that's her main concern, that financially she will burden us but we wanna ask for help from anyone and everyone who can donate to please help us show her that it should be the last of her worries.. 

I know with this pandemic, everyone is struggling financially just like we are but anything at this moment will highly be appreciated and thanked from the bottom of our hearts.. we would have done more by going door to door or car wash but since she is still here.. we have to be careful we dont catch the virus so we can still be allowed to see her for the remainder of her time.. 

Thank u for the constant prayers, checking up on us and the support.. we love u all and are blessed u are all in our lives.. 

In jesus name, we pray she receives the peace or a miracle for her to move on to the next step of her life..
