Help Fran Focus on her son, Danny: Not Finances

My name is Joel Stone. I met Fran and Danny in 2019 when they were my neighbors in an RV park in Redwood City, CA, while I was working at Facebook (now Meta). We quickly became close friends, sharing meals, stories, and laughter. Fran, a 75-year-old with a heart of gold, has spent her life working hard to make ends meet, cleaning houses in Redwood City. Her world revolves around caring for her disabled son, Danny (56), who lives with her in their RV trailer.

Tragically, life dealt them a devastating blow six months ago when Danny was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. Since then, Fran's world has been consumed with caring for Danny. He's endured spinal surgery to remove the cancer, leaving him in agonizing pain. He's battled through rounds of radiation and chemotherapy, but the cancer has spread to his brain. Danny is now on hospice care.

Fran has been Danny's rock throughout this ordeal, putting her house cleaning business and income on hold to be his full-time caregiver. But the medical bills—from hospital stays and surgery to the constant transport for chemo and radiation—have piled up relentlessly. Credit cards are maxed out, and the financial burden weighs heavily on Fran's shoulders as she faces this heartbreaking situation.

No parent should have to outlive their child, and no one should have to face crushing debt while navigating such a difficult time. We're asking for your kindness and support to help Fran focus on what matters most right now: being there for Danny in his final days. Your generous donation will help cover the mounting medical expenses, alleviate the financial strain, and offer Fran some peace of mind during this incredibly challenging chapter.

My Ask of you:

1. Please Donate something: Every dollar counts. Even a small contribution can make a significant difference in easing Fran's and Danny's financial burden.

2. Please share this GoFundMe page with your network.

Let's rally around Fran and show her that she's not alone. We'll be posting updates on Danny's condition and how your donations are helping.

Thank you for your compassion and support.
