This family has been recommended by Family Reach.

A single mother of two, busy raising a daughter, age 12, and a 4 year-old son. Getting by on a tight budget that includes child care and living expenses, suddenly, the 4-year-old is diagnosed with pediatric cancer.

To care for her ailing son and obtain the necessary treatment, Mom has reduced her work hours and moved near the cancer treatment center while her daughter stays with family and continues her schooling.

Reduced work hours, temporary housing expenses, child care costs, and the strain of caring for a child with cancer; the need couldn’t be more apparent.

Expenses mount daily. A few dollars would truly be miraculous, for a family already dealing with a terrible illness. A few dollars would relieve what would be, for so many, insurmountable odds.

Help this hardworking mother care for both her children, help her care for herself. The need is great, the solution, as simple as the story. $950 by June 1st would provide relief and a mortgage payment. Please give what you can.
