PLEASE DONT SCROLL PAST THIS. I know it’s not “the type of aesthetic your blog needs” but I really need help right now. As some of you know, my mother is no mother. I know I’ve posted plenty of novel sized rants about her on here before but she’s really outdone herself this time. She’s an alcoholic. Pops pain pills like candy. Drives around drunk and stoned out of her mind with my little sister in the car. Swallowed an entire bottle of trazadone, climbed into my little sisters bed and said “I’m just going to die here.” She was nine years old. She was put under psychiatric evaluation for E I G H T D A Y S S T R A I G H T because even the doctors knew she wasn’t fit to be around Chloe anymore. The department of family and children services has been involved since that night and it is literally ON PAPER that Chloe is to not be left alone with her for A N Y reason. DFACs HELPED MY STEP FATHER BASICALLY RUN AWAY WITH MY LITTLE SISTER BECAUSE OF HOW TOXIC MY MOTHER IS. My older sister and I were removed from her care when I was THREE W E E K S OLD. last week, my mother managed to get in front of a judge, didn’t notify any defending parties (me, my stepdad, dfacs, ANY of my family). She was the only person testifying in a case against her. She convinced the judge that my step father was dangerous. That Chloe was homeless and starving. The police showed up at my stepdads house and TOOK my little sister (who was screaming and crying and telling the officers she did not want to go with my mother) and put. Her. In. My. Mothers. Car. To. Take. Back. To. Her. New. ****boys. House. That. Is. 6. Hours. Away. From. Her. Father. I tried to call and talk to Chloe right after it happened. My mother wouldn’t answer the phone. I messaged her on Facebook asking to speak to Chloe. This was her reply. There is a court date set for May 5th. My stepfather and I are trying to raise money for a lawyer in that short amount of time. He’s set up a gofundme page (link at the end) where anyone willing to help can donate. Even if you can’t donate, a simple reblog or share on Facebook would be so very greatly appreciated. Please help me bring my little sister home. She’s not safe and I’m ****ing terrified. http://dm2.gofund.me/snbghk

So I’ve been contemplating for a couple years now on how I should come about this. As I don’t like asking for help or discussing personal tidbits about my life.
In 2007, my mom was involved in a life threatening malpractice causing her brain loss, broken ribs and nerve damage in both her legs. Resulting in her using a walker. All in which wasn’t her fault. Even after the accident she is very optimistic and humble and hasn’t asked for a thing. She deserves a second chance at life and a little happiness considering what a crummy year she’s been having.
My mom has exhausted every possible means. Insurance, health benefits, relatives’ and friends’ kindness. I need about $20,000 to pay for all the medical procedures, a nurse, her move and a new working functional car.
I don’t know what else to do except to ask. I’m embarrassed to do so, but if it turns out you guys are willing to help, and If I didn’t ask, I would never forgive myself. Please help this amazing lady. I currently don’t have much but I’ve posted up a few reward options. You can donate any amount. I’ll be eternally grateful.

It’s my mom’s Birthday today, I wish I could tell her about this fundraiser as a birthday gift but we’re not quite there yet. Show her some love and donate~
So, I haven’t updated this in quite some time. Things have been on the hectic side. At first, the good kind of hectic and then later down the line, the bad.
This summer, I had a work hiatus which gave me some free time but not only that the stars aligned to my favor and I actually managed to bring my mom to California for a visit! I’ve been living here for four years and this will be the first time she’s been since I moved. She enjoyed a day at Disneyland, (which she hasn’t seen in 16 years!) dining, the spa and meeting my crew and friends at work. She really enjoyed herself and I’m glad she got to experience a glimpse of what can be. The sad thing is, she only got to be here for one week.
I did notice she lost some steam since I last saw her. The past few months, my mom grew very sick. Not too much was known at the time. Things were starting to get looked at right before her visit to California. I didn’t want to take her away from her appointments even though she was having a good time. So I had to cut her visit short. As soon as she got back from her trip the doctors responded to us with her current status and results.
My mom has been diagnosed with colon cancer….
We just can’t catch a break it seems… I’ve been dealing with the news and that’s why I haven’t been able to update as much as I should. It’s been tearing me a part since she’s such a good person.They performed a CT scan and luckily it’s only located in her colon. She’s been doing her chemotherapy and radiation the past few weeks. It was that or cutting it out and risking her having to attach a bag to her for the rest of her life. The doctor said that it IS curable if she keeps going to her sessions. Which is a very positive thing.
I told her about all the generous people and friends who donated to this fundraiser. I told her people DO care for her and are thinking of her. I still haven’t told her the amount though. I would love to tell her that the full total was raised. I’m hoping she is cured after all this and she can FINALLY come to California for good. I want her to know that we made our goal.
She is in high spirits even with the tragic news and is taking this on day by day. Like she always does.
I’m at the low end of the stick right now and it would mean a lot for the additional help. I just want to finish what I started. Ya know? I want her to have another chance and start a new when she’s cured. Thanks, all. The donation link is located on this post~
An update guys— Tara’s mom is in need of help! She was just diagnosed with colon cancer and Tara is trying to raise funds to move her super adorable mum out here so they can be close!
Please signal boost the hell out of this! Tara and her mum need all the help they can get! <3 I know these cuties would greatly appreciate your help!
I wish I could give money but I can’t. 🙁 But my prayers shall be with you. Please, those who can donate, GIVE!

My father recently lost his job, we lost our house and now on top of this he has been diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes.
He is a professional machinist and has been working as one for over 30 years, only to then have his work stolen from him by his own mother and sister. We’ve been scraping by since then and now that he lost his job we have absolutely nothing to live off of.
He is such a strong person and until yesterday I have never once seen him cry. We’re absolutely devastated – he has cancer and we have no way to help him.
He has always refused to take money from other people and he has spent his life helping people in need, and now we are the ones who need help.
My mother’s best friend has made a gofundme to try and help us pay our bills (we currently have no income whatsoever) and get him the treatment he so desperately needs.
If you can’t donate then (please, please, please) signal boost this. I’ll also share with him any supportive asks I receive regarding this..
I love my father so much and I am so afraid to lose him right now.
Please help this man.
