This fundraiser is deeply personal.

My grandmother didn’t just raise me—she became my mother in every way that mattered.

She poured her heart into helping children and families in need. Every Christmas, she bought gifts for families who couldn’t afford them. Every Thanksgiving, she made sure tables were full. She collected and donated clothes, sponsored struggling households, and quietly supported countless people behind the scenes.

When she was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2008, even while fighting her own battle, she turned her compassion toward children facing cancer.

She supported them with the same selflessness she showed everyone else.

She passed away on April 10, 2010, after a courageous fight.

I’m raising money for childhood cancer research and support in her honor. It’s my way of carrying forward the love, generosity, and strength she showed every single day—especially to kids who need hope and healing the most.

Thank you for helping me keep her legacy alive.

Every donation brings us closer to better treatments, brighter futures, and fewer families who have to say goodbye too soon.
