In early December my mother, Elia Jimenez, was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme Grade IV Brain Cancer.



It is a rare form of brain cancer that, for her, is inoperable and terminal. It is heartbreaking to say that despite her already receiving a full 6 weeks of radiation and chemotherapy, her doctors say she has about

2 years to live.



We will be seeking out alternative treatments, but my mom has expressed her desire to live this final stage of her life simply and peacefully.



She hopes to grow flowers, tend a garden, and spend time with me, my brothers Joseph and Angel, and other family and friends. It is incredible to witness the unending amount of positivity and a gratitude she exudes even on the worse days.



My mother's claims for disability insurance have been denied for reasons not yet known and of course medical bills for hospital stays and treatments are quickly piling up. Your donations will go towards covering medical and everyday living expenses.



Please consider making a donation and sharing this campaign with others to help us make my mom's life as comfortable and peaceful as possible.



Thank you all so much for the love and support you've shown us in this difficult time.



Sincerely,



Alex Alaniz
