Help my mom Irma Mendez fight appendix cancer

Donation protected
My mom, Irma Mendez, began complaining of abdominal pain in September 2018. After many months of doctor visits, labs, and tests she was diagnosed in January 2019 with cancer. She had a tumor the size of a softball on her left ovary. A major surgery was performed in February 2019 and it was then we found out she actually had appendix cancer. Only about 1,000 people in the US are diagnosed with this rare cancer every year. Doctors concluded she had Stage IV-A appendix cancer that had spread to nearby organs, including her left ovary.
My mom is a fighter and her only hope now is to beat the odds of this rare cancer. She's a wife,  sister,  mother of 3, and grandmother. Her goal is to see her grandkids graduate school and be there for them when needed. 
Funds are becoming tight as my dad is having to miss a lot of work. Any money donated will go towards medical bills and my mom's upcoming chemo treatments. The length of time of chemo is still uncertain as doctors are still trying to figure out her best plan of treatment.
With your prayers and donations we are hoping to lift some financial burden on my parents. Any amount, big or small, is greatly appreciated. May God Bless you and your families.
