Help Tabitha Fight Cancer & Support Her Family

My name is Tabitha, and just this past Wednesday, I was diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer. The news has left me feeling overwhelmed, scared, and uncertain about what comes next. On top of this, my mom was in a terrible car accident in April—she was rear-ended, went off the road, and landed head-on into a tree. She barely survived, and since then, I’ve been doing everything I can to help her recover. Because I’m her only family, and she’s mine, I’ve missed work to care for her, which has put me behind on rent and bills. My dad passed away over four years ago, so it’s just the two of us now, and we’re both struggling to get by.

Right now, I’m waiting to see an oncologist and go through a series of tests before I know what my treatment will look like. The waiting is stressful, and the costs are already piling up—medical bills, rent, utilities, groceries, and even gas to get to appointments. I’ve always fought hard to be there for others, especially my mom, but now I’m at a point where I need help myself. I’m reaching out because I truly have nowhere else to turn, and every bit of support will help me keep a roof over our heads and get the care I need to fight this cancer.

If you’re able to help, your support will go directly toward my medical expenses, daily living costs, and helping me and my mom get through this incredibly tough time. Thank you for reading my story and for any help you can give.
