Help Kim and kids stay housed during cancer battle
Donation protected
Hello everyone, I am reaching out to request your compassionate support for my mother, fighting stage IV Metastatic Ovarian Cancer. My mother, Kimberely Ross has been fighting this deadly disease for over 3 years, and now needs your help facing her fourth year. As my mom literally fights to save her life, she's become completely overwhelmed by financial stressors and thoughts of becoming homeless! I’m worried my mother may be wasting precious time diverting from what her most important fight is, TO STAY ALIVE! She is feeding her cancer as she worries about finances, and how to leave my brother and I all alone.
My mom's lack of awareness about cancer signs and not self-advocating lead to this severally delayed diagnosis. If Ovarian Cancer awarness and symptoms had been made, she might have been in recovery. I know she hopes to help promote awarness and self-advocating!!!

Today she struggles to work because the physical demand is too much on her body. Her doctors have continuously recommended that she quit, but finances won't allow it. Little help will come from Social Security in 5 months. Unfortunately, we have no family support. Over the years our support system has slowly disappeared as one bestie moves away and her other bestie passes away from the same deadly disease. Your support, in any form, would not only alleviate the immediate financial stress, but will also provide her with hope and comfort in these difficult times and show her that she is not alone in this fight. Together, we can offer her financial stability and peace of mind, alleviating the fear of homelessness and allowing her to focus solely on her battle against cancer.
Thank You So Much!!! We greatly appreciate any help you can give and please share this story!!! Promote Awareness! FUK Cancer!
