A man's first love will ALWAYS be his mother. When you see your mother sick, it breaks you up inside. Last night I laid in my mother's arms reminiscing....the person who picked me up after every fall and wiped my tears away. I'm trying my best to wipe away my mother's tears. She's in a tremendous amount of pain. My mother, Wanda has had a long battle with cancer. She was once in recession, which was a highlight and huge achievement in her life. However, we have now learned that her cancer has been back for some time now, and it’s suspected that it has spread all throughout her body. My mom has always been an independent woman, and I grew up with her taking care of me and my baby sister with autism. As a single mother, she overcame every obstacle and made me the man I am today. I recently had the chance to visit her in the home I grew up in, and it was disheartening to see how quickly she had declined within the year. At this point, she has exhausted all of her current options in her home state, but we aren’t giving up. We recently learned of the Anderson Center in Texas, and decided that we as a family, would take a leap of faith and seek treatment for her at the Anderson Center. The average out of pocket treatment can cost anywhere from 100k and up. As her son, I'm trying to handle as much as I can, but the cost is overwhelming. With her having limited health insurance coverage, a chance at a better life for my mother will come with a huge cost. With my mother unable to work, and barely able to care for herself in her current state of health, I’m asking family members, friends, colleges to help contribute anything they can to help us pay for her cancer treatments. If donating is not something feasible at the moment, we simply ask that you repost our story, and help bring awareness to our current situation. Any donation is welcome, and on behalf of me, my mother, we are beyond grateful Monday morning, no matter what, we are stepping out on faith and catching a flight to Texas....hoping to come back with good news. Writing this and being vulnerable about my life is the hardest thing I have ever had to do.... PLEASE help Mom and I get her treatments in Texas...I'm not ready to lose her yet.
