Help Tina fight cancer and keep her home

Donation protected
Reaching out to anyone who can help my mom! A little over 4 years ago,Tina had breast cancer. She went through chemo, radiation and a double mastectomy with a lot of complications. She ended up beating it and going into remission! There was a go fund me page for that and we are thankful for those donations. But unfortunately things have gotten worse. 

She was diagnosed in this past year with stage 4 metastatic cancer. So, not just the brast cancer that came back, but a multitude of cancers emerged. Tumors have been appearing on her skull, liver, lungs, spine, etc. etc. She always stayed positive even knowing the diagnosis. Always kept her sense of humor, always remained a great friend and always the best mother my sister and i could ever ask for. Because of her health status she is unable to work. She is in constant pain every day and needs strong pain medications. My mom is not one to asked for help, even as she's crossed the line into being terminal. She needs spinal surgery because her bones are breaking. Her car was repossessed because she can’t work and make payments. She is now facing eviction. She lives with my sister who is 19 and her cats. She would have to find homes for the cats and honestly they are the only thing that bring her joy. And worse is finding a place for my sister also. No one should ever have to experience this and then have everything taken from them. My mom always found a way to provide for herself and us. My heart hurts so much for her and there’s only so much I can do. I’m reaching out because my mom is a very selfless person and never asks for anything. Any contribution is appreciated. I’m trying to raise enough money for her to stay in her apartment. Moving will be next to impossible for her based on all of the above. All I want for her and my sister is to have the best quality of life they can with whatever time they have left together. Thanking you all in advance for however you can help. She has been my inspiration in life and I can’t bear seeing her struggle. Even though we lived in separate states since I was 7, she has and will always be there for me, just as she's always been there for friends, family and complete strangers. She's one of a kind, and she needs our help.
