Hey everyone, thank you for taking the time to read this.. I don't ask for help like this if I can see an alternative..



(UPDATE) We are now raising this money to get my momma down to Arizona and get her treated at the Envita cancer treatment center, which attacks all 11 areas in which cancer grows and spreads instead of just he 4 areas that chemotherapy treats.



My brother Michael and I are starting this fund for our Mother Diana. Let me tell you a little about our beautiful momma.. 59 yrs old, a Mother of four sons (3 who are around) Grandmother of 7 (5 she's met). She has beaten cancer THREE times in her life. The first was skin cancer, second up was breast cancer, and third was an ovarian tumor the size of a cantaloupe with an "unknown primary". With the ovarian cancer, the doctor gave her 8 months to live with aggressive treatment, that was 18 years ago. I was 14, driving her to chemotherapy with no drivers license, sitting with her during infusions, carrying her up and down the stairs to her bedroom and to the car, and making sure she had everything she needed, and we beat it together. The chemo therapy almost killed her in the infusion room. I've learned that everyone's body reacts differently to it and through trial and error they found out she was allergic to a few types of chemo (taxol was the worst). Long story short, she went through absolute hell with chemo. About a week ago she was diagnosed with stage 4 small cell lung cancer with metastasis to the brain which has presented in around 5-6 larger tumors and around 7-10 smaller tumors in her brain with a primary lung tumor larger than a baseball. The brain tumors sprung up in less than 2 months, were unsure of how long the lung has been affected. Her cancer is inoperable due to its aggressive nature and it's locations. Mom hasn't decided wether she will or won't do chemo again, it's a really hard choice that only she can make! But we will ride either wave with her unto whichever end. This is family. WE are family. If we raise enough money we will use some of it to pay for alternative treatments which medical coverage won't cover. We will watch her suffer if we must, we pray it doesn't come down to that. The purpose of this fund is to allow my brother and I to still be able to pay the bills while we care for her, keep her comfortable, and maybe even enable us to take her to do some of the things she's always wanted to do before her time comes, like see the red wood forest (our dad Sprouse loved Red Wood trees). We've moved her into our apartment and neither of us have been working since she got sick, we've been taking care of her. Spending a week in the hospital with her, then driving her to appointments, helping regulate her medications, cooking meals, and spending time with her making sure we don't waste a single moment and most importantly making sure that she knows that she is surrounded by her family who love her unconditionally. Our tiny family has been broken so many times before, yet we always come back together for each other. Mom needs around the clock care due to her brain tumors making her confused about things, dizzy, and unable to do most things by herself. We've put signs on our doors to remind her where she is going.. Some have told us to just put her in a nursing home? Simply not an option. She has suffered enough in her life, and we will do everything in our power to give her a comfortable, loved, and peaceful send off if it comes to that. Not one where she is surrounded by strangers and people she doesn't trust. She has always sacrificed to make sure we had everything we needed and then some. She raised us on her own. She's been 100% devoted to us and we are the same to her now. Anything contributed to this fund will be used as provision for the family under our roof to sustain us and make her feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Your Prayers are priceless, God has the power to heal her!! His will be done, not ours.



(((((UPDATE)))))



Almost one week ago, I was on a late night walk one block away from my apartment and I was shot in the abdomen by an unknown attacker wielding an 9mm handgun. I had my pistol with me and returned fire in defense of my life. The resulting short but violent gun battle resulted in my attackers death. When I went to the emergency room I was immediately separated from my family, placed under arrest for murder, and was admitted to the hospital, unable to see any of my family. All of this was very hard on me, my family and mom for obvious reasons. Roughly 48 hours later I was released from custody without charges, but still under investigation. About a day later I was discharged from the hospital. My mom cried for almost two days. Now, my family can't safely return to my apartment, so we are displaced and in great need of your support...



We've located a cancer treatment center called Envita who's targeted treatment attacks all 11 factors which allow cancer to grow and spread, instead of just the four areas that chemo attacks (two of which are mitigated by the other two). Of course, this treatment isn't covered by insurance because let's be real making people better is bad business for big pharma. If my mom were doing chemotherapy right now she would in my opinion, based off the research I've done, already be dead. The cost for this treatment is high, around 80k. PLEASE help us make our story and our gofundme viral so we can get my momma the treatment she needs to beat this aggressive cancer. Any and all ideas are welcome, all donations are appreciated more than words can express, and your prayers are priceless.



Momma is feeling better today than she was yesterday so far. Please keep praying. SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE. Like, comment, share. Help us get my mom to Envita and give her the gift of watching her grandchildren grow up. Thank you all for your continued support. God bless every one of you.
