About this fundraiser

Our momma was diagnosed with small cell carcinoma in April 2023. After going through 5 trio rounds of chemo therapy and 25 rounds of radiation, we thought we had “ kicked the can down the road” as our momma would say. In December of 2023 our mom started having significant headaches, we did an earlier than scheduled scan only to show this horrible disease had spread to her brain. She had began CyberKnife radiation treatments and  monthly MRI's every since. In July her MRI showed the tumors were spreading, and had significantly increased in size. This journey has been our momma, my sisters and me since it all began. We've been by her side every step of the way. Her fight has been our fight. She had no life insurance, or burial insurance. Our mom was placed on Hospice care on August 21, 2024 after her last and final MRI showed horrific changes, which we knew it was going to be bad as just a week prior too we began losing our momma cognitively. These tumors had completely taken over, the swelling had actually caused so much pressure it was causing our momma's brain to start shifting. Our mom was no longer able to remember who we were most days, requiring 24 hour care. As her daughters this was so devastating and heartbreaking to watch. Her final three weeks on this earth she fought so very hard, enduring so much pain and suffering, not knowing if that one breath was going to be her last. Cancer has no mercy and was taking our momma before our very eyes. Our mom is our everything and was our best friend. I'm not sure how we're going to make it in this world without her here with us. I know she's in a better place though with no more pain or suffering as she went home to be with God on the morning of September 15, 2024. We, as sisters are needing and asking for help, we are asking for donations to help with funeral/final expenses for our mom. All donations can be made directly to Ferry Funeral Home in Nevada, Mo c/o Terri Hamilton Hunt 

Thank you all 🙏
