Hello, my dear watchers or anyone who stumbles across this. I was unsure about posting this because this is bringing my real life into Deviantart, but at this point, I decided to do it anyway. For those who don't know, my mom's been battling Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer for the past few years. She's been doing okay and her treatments have been helping her, but lately the bigger issue has been finances. Her job has been cutting her hours so she isn't making as much money as she used to, and the bills keep piling up. One day when I visited and my aunt, her sister, told her about a bill, my mom just broke down. She couldn't hide it anymore. The fact is she just doesn't have money. So I decided to set up a GoFundMe to help her. I've been sharing the link everywhere I can. Trouble is I don't have a million friends on Facebook, nor do I have a million followers on Twitter so it hasn't gotten much attention and I'm resorting to this.

If you, or anyone you know wants to donate and can, please do. And even if you can't donate yourself, please share the link and spread the word on either here or on any social media you have.

Thank you for your time and have a good day.

UPDATE: 06/22/2018
Well there's good news and bad news. The good news is that so far, my mom's cancer is not getting worse. The bad news is that she may need to do chemotherapy treatments until the cancer is completely gone which will affect her work hours and thus her paycheck as well. Please, if anyone can donate, please do. Any amount will help her.

If anyone has any ideas on where else I could share this that will get it more attention and more donators, please let me know, because unfortunately this isn't working like I expected it would.

I wish to thank everyone who has messaged me and given their thoughts and prayers. It's good to know this website has plenty of good, kind and caring people. :)
