A MOTHER DIEING WISH FOR HER CHILDREN. CANCER WHY

Hi my name is Olivia Anderson, less then a year after i had my youngest daughter miracle i was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2019.

The journey have been very hard and painful. Without having my blood family here with me in south dakota to care for me and being a single mother of 3 children life have given me more than I can bear.

I went through chemo, Radiation and double mastectomy through faith. many days my son had to bath me because I could not care for myself.

After breast cancer treatment in june of 2021 I decided to take a mission trip to west Africa Liberia to give back and tell God thank you for saving my life. with so much enthusiasm to return and volunteer as a breast cancer survivor and find myself again by doing things with my kids, cancer hits again. This time I was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer...I cried asking God why me and if he didn't love my children. I went through gamma knife surgery and did well for a little bit.

On one sad Sunday, I visited my friend, she later get mad at her mother, when I tried to help I was push. 3 days later end up in the hospital with a swelling brain...due to that I needed to do an open brain surgery and chemo.

my first chemo for the brain was done but too hard and pain so I decided NO more chemo.

Palliative care talked to me and told me to conclude hospices care...I came home and started writing down things for my kid's and making Memories.

The pain has been deeper, I felt like I had let my kids down and couldn't be a mother to them. It hurt me knowing my kids had been in and out of people Homes for year without being able to care for them. Here I was again putting them through the same life...I do not want that for them so I chose NO MORE TREATMENT. TO take all the time I have left to do things with my kids. I plan on taking them to Disneyland/ Africa so they can get to know more about my background, but without working for years funds has stop me with so much pain and tears in my eyes.

This is not what I desired for my children.

I cried many days knowing I will leave tthem without getting to know them...my miracle is only 4, how can God do this? my jerry is just 8, how will I get to see what he becomes? and my Teen daughte is doing her own thing, going through life with so much unspoken pain...I cried out but I feels no one understands my pain.

please help me make my kids wish come true I appreciate your kindness as you help me put a smile on my children faces
