Dear Friends and Family,

I am reaching out to you with a humble and heartfelt request for support as my family navigates an incredibly challenging time. My mother, the heart and soul of our family, is currently battling terminal pancreatic cancer. As we cherish every remaining moment with her, we are also facing the difficult task of planning for her end-of-life arrangements.

My mother has always been a source of unwavering love and strength for our family. Her warmth, kindness, and resilience have touched the lives of everyone who knows her. Throughout her life, she has faced every challenge with grace and an indomitable spirit. Remarkably, she has fought and won her cancer battle twice before. Despite these enormous challenges, she never gave up on living her life to the fullest, inspiring everyone around her with her unwavering positivity and courage. Unfortunately, the disease she fought off twice before has returned, this time as aggressive late-stage pancreatic cancer. Unfortunately, the advanced stage of her cancer does not leave her with many therapeutic options, and therefore her prognosis is not good. As we focus on making her remaining time as comfortable and meaningful as possible, we are also confronted with the daunting task of planning for her end-of-life care. This includes the significant financial burden associated with purchasing a burial plot and covering funeral expenses.

We are humbly asking for your support to help ease this burden. Your generous contributions will assist us in covering the following costs:

Any donation, no matter the size, will bring us closer to our goal and provide us with the peace of mind to focus on spending quality time with my mother during her final days. If you are unable to contribute financially, sharing this campaign with others who personally know my mother would also be immensely helpful.

From the depths of our hearts, we thank you for your compassion, generosity, and support during this incredibly difficult time. Your kindness will allow us to give my mother the dignity and respect she deserves as we prepare to say our final goodbyes.

With sincere gratitude,

Ana-Maria Caldaruse
