Samantha Smith hasn't added a story.
Our recipient is my mother Mardelle Gillmor and my family. She lives in Placerville, CA. My dad,Tim, died very unexpectedly in his sleep from a heart attack last year three weeks before Christmas. Since then, she's had to sell our family home that my 2 brothers and I were raised in. Over the last month she's had a series of health problems and symptoms that have lead to tests showing tumors in her brain which doctors have identified as cancer, needing radiation immediately. My brothers Ryan, Tyler and I are trying to be with her as much as we possibly can. Thus far, her radiation treatments have rendered her unable to drive, leaving her dependent on us for rides to doctors appointments, grocery shopping, etc. Ryan lives in Southern California, works in entertainment and is married; I work as a hairstylist and just celebrated my one year anniversary with my husband Matt. We are expecting our first child as well as our mom's first grandchild, a baby to be born in March; Tyler lives with his fiance and works with developmentally disabled adults. Proper treatment could buy her some good quality time, possibly years. Obviously my family needs help with medical bills and expenses for treatment, transportation, and the ability to have help for her in-home. We endured tragedy last year and this is yet another unbelievable bump in the road. I want more than anything for my mom to maintain a happy life and meet her first grandchild
