Recipient story
A carer found out she was pregnant and a week later, found out her mum has terminal cancer and only a few months to live
Other hardship(s)
A devoted young carer who has been caring for her mother since the age of eight.
She is currently the primary carer for her mother, who has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer and has been given only a few months to live. This devastating news came just one week after the family discovered she was expecting a baby — what should have been a joyful and celebrated time has instead become one filled with heartbreak and uncertainty.
The family have faced ongoing hardship throughout their lives. They are now confronted with the financial burden of preparing for her mother’s funeral, meaning the limited savings they had put aside for their new baby, will now need to be used for funeral expense expenses instead.
We are hoping to support this family with essential baby items to help ease some of the some of the stress and financial pressure during this incredibly difficult period.
