Help My Mom Fight Cancer After her Stroke.

UPDATE 12/14/2023: We want to thank everyone for all of the support after mom had her stroke. Some people have reached out to ask if there was a gofundme set up so I have reopened the page. Sadly although mom has mostly recovered from the stroke she has recently been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Mom is currently facing severe fatigue, weight loss and other health issues related to the cancer diagnosis.

She is very ill and is currently unable to drive and unable to work. Unfortunately they did not catch it early and there is a long road ahead. She began treatments a few days before Thanksgiving and has at least 6 more months of treatment as well as an extensive surgery in January.

Paul is continuing to try to keep their grooming business up and running but it is challenging as they really worked as a team. They are facing a loss of income as well as extensive medical bills and mom has many appointments with many specialists. Any help is greatly appreciated. To those who have already been there for us through rides and cards and food and more we are incredibly grateful. Thank you so much.

Hi, I'm Andrea. My mom, Liliana and step-dad Paul are greatly in need of support. As some of you may know, my mom recently suffered a stroke and is currently unable to walk or use her left hand. Her rehabilitation is going well but there is a long road ahead.

Mom and Paul are the sole owners and employees of Ruff N' Ready Dog Grooming in Reading which has been open for 17 years. The business is currently closed to allow them to focus on mom's recovery, leaving them with no income.

They are dealing with considerable medical expenses, some of which are not covered by insurance. In addition, they have to maintain the lease for Ruff N'Ready and continue to pay their regular monthly expenses. This, of course, comes on the heels of the pandemic which was a financial hardship for them, as it was for so many small business owners.

The future of their business is unclear at this time as they focus on mom's recovery and they desperately need your support.

All donations will go directly torwards helping them cover ongoing expenses.

Thank you so much for any you are able to give.
