Support Our Hero: Join Us in Backing a Mother's Battle Against Cancer

Greetings,

I'm Siumi, reaching out from Melbourne, Australia, with a heartfelt plea. In 2019, my mother, the cornerstone of our family, made the courageous move from Sri Lanka for a better life. After years of unwavering dedication, working tirelessly as a sales consultant, she now faces her toughest challenge yet: Stage 3 cancer. Diagnosed during medical consultations for excruciating arm pain, she's bracing herself for 17 chemotherapy sessions over six months, followed by a year of injections, surgery, and possibly radiotherapy. For the past few weeks she had gone through 2 out of the 17 chemotherapy sessions and is waiting to receive the rest. Additionally, she hasn't seen my younger brother, still in Sri Lanka, for five years, and we're working to bring him here for his education, which requires financial assistance.

For over a decade, my mother has been our rock, guiding my brother and me through life's trials with unwavering love and strength. Her resilience paved the way for my academic pursuits, including a scholarship at Monash University, where I'm currently studying engineering.

Our objective is clear: to raise $100,000 to alleviate the financial strain on my mother and support her in her battle against cancer, covering medical expenses, living costs and facilitating my brother's presence for emotional support and educational needs. This comprehensive support will allow her to focus solely on her recovery, free from concerns about our education.

Your contributions will directly assist in:

- Covering medical bills and ongoing treatments
- Providing for essential living expenses during her recovery
- Ensuring uninterrupted educational pursuits for me


We remain dedicated to keeping you informed about her progress and our journey. Every donation, every share, brings us closer to the milestone of her witnessing my graduation and embracing her future grandchildren.

We're profoundly thankful for any support you can offer, whether through donations or by sharing our story. Together, let's honor the woman who has given us everything, and together, let's paint a picture of a future filled with health, happiness, and family.

Thank you, from the depths of our hearts, for your kindness and support.

Cost Breakdown:
- Living/medical Expenses for the next 12 months for both of us :$70,000
- Educational Expenses: $40,000
