Raising money for my Mum

Donation protected
in 2016 my mum was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer and after a really tough fight through ICU and multiple surgeries, one that went for 14 hours, she has barely survived her way through time to the present without continuously pushing and using an immense amount of strength to get through what she has been through. Unfortunately, my mum struggles to drive due to a numbness in her legs caused by her operations and is forced to use a Walker as her aid of mobility and cannot walk more than 1 meter without completely breaking down and running out of breath. To make things worse, my mum has now been diagnosed with stage 3 Lung cancer and has been given a 35% chance of surviving treatment. Unable to work, my mum can not afford transport/petrol to the hospital in the city every single day for 6 weeks straight to receive the proper treatment she requires to make it past the next 12 months, nor can she afford the transport it will cost my sister and I to get to and from school/work while she is in hospital all day. My sister Grace works 2 jobs and contributes a vast majority of her income towards paying our bills and putting food on the table, and I am 15 and work one job earning less than $200 a fortnight which pays for transport to and from school and work when my mum is sick and unwell in bed. To top things off, our beloved family dog Phebe contacted a life threatening illness that forced us to put her down within 24 hours of finding out about her sickness, and we have been given the bill for her euthanasia aswell. my mum is the only thing i have and to lose her would absolutely ruin me. We NEED this treatment and we need it as soon as possible but cannot go through with it unless we are financially stable enough to afford the things we will need as she will be in hospital . ANY DONATION WILL DO. we really need your help, any money is appreciated x
