please help my mom fight stage 4 lung cancer

Donation protected
My name is Megan and I am writing this on behalf of my mom Julie mellano Brown who is only 50 years old she's a single mom of 5 kids she still has a 13 year old at home. she went to the hospital about 2 months ago and they found a mass on her chest leaning on her trachea She's been coughing n trying to catch her breath for about 3 months now but it just seems like the coughing and trying to catch her breath is just getting worse everyday. She went for a petscan that they finally got her into and it showed she had 2 masses on her chest one on her right side and one on her left. The one on her right has doubled in size within 3 weeks. The biopsy is set for Thursday August 17 th but today mom had a very hard time breathing so I called 911 and long story short her lungs are collapsing from the mass getting bigger in size. They are trying to transport her to Robertwood Johnson's where they will possibly start chemo immediately. Her only hope is to shrink it. My mom still has a 13 year old daughter that is going to be starting school and my mom hasn't been able to work and has used all her savings for these past couple of weeks to buy food paying bills and rent etc. My mother doesn't live off the system she gets no help at all. She lives off paycheck to paycheck and right now she could really use some help so she could focus on getting herself better. We are now asking for your help ,whether that be financially or in sharing this gofund me. Every bit donated will go directly to funding my mother Julie , and her daughter Kaylees living arrangements , food, medical bills etc during this challenging time. My family  and I have been on such a challenging journey and we have tried to do everything we possibly can for my mom
As a family, we thank you so much for taking the time to read and consider this post. I know a lot of us are struggling financially but even sharing this post can go along way. I will keep updating on how my mom is doing. Thank you very much please keep my mom and our family in your prayers
