About this fundraiser

1. On August 8th, our mother became unwell and was admitted to our nearby hospital. Unfortunately, they were unable to provide the specialized care necessary for her condition, leading to her quick transfer to a more advanced facility in Indianapolis for further treatment and assessment. The medical team at the local hospital acted swiftly, recognizing the need for a higher level of care, which intensified the urgency of the situation as we sought to ensure our mother's health was prioritized. It soon became clear that she was facing serious issues, including multiple bleeding instances and pulmonary embolism. Recognizing their limitations, the local hospital moved her to a Hospital in Indianapolis, where the dedicated staff worked ceaselessly, facing unprecedented challenges while trying to help her. Despite everything, our mother showcased her strength and determination, embodying the spirit of a true fighter.

2. As she battles through extensive treatments, the journey has been physically and emotionally draining for her. Our selfless mother, who typically manages two jobs, woke up one morning to discover her bank account empty, her savings for bills wiped out by sudden medical costs. Though she promises to repay any debts, the financial burden weighs heavily on her heart. We remain hopeful for her swift recovery and long to see her back home soon.

3. Witnessing her struggles is incredibly painful, particularly as she faced setbacks during her time in the ICU, including multiple incubations. Today was especially difficult, as we observed her shedding more tears than ever before, a stark reminder of the toll this situation has taken on her spirit.
