please save someone the pain
hi I'm phoenix and this is the 3rd year I've done this. my mother died of cancer. think of some you love so dearly that you think of them as invincible because losing them is so terrifying that you cant even imagen it. now imagen watching them start getting weaker and weaker sure the first week they may be a bit tired a bit week but slowly they get worse. now they can't even walk you the stairs or get out of bed there so weak it seems like the only thing that's stopping them from loosening the strength to move is sheer will power. but if fate decide to make you day worse. what if they got better. you see joy slowly replacing pain in their eyes they can work again, they smile again, they can finally live again and then its back so they start getting treatment again and you see them shrive up into a husk of the person they once were but this time they don't get better one night they trip and can't get up that's the night they get sent to the hospital and that is the last place they ever visit and for the next how many ever weeks that's you home you live in the patient lounge is your new bed room. and one day you here a terrible rattling sound from them and their time is near, so you sit beside them and hold their hand for the very last time as they pass away.
this is what I have gone through and in 2022 there were nearly 20 million new cases of cancer diagnosed and nearly 10 million deaths 10 million people wasted away because of this. 10 million people had to feel there everything in their be remover slowly and painfully 10 million people's families mourned their death can you imagine that. few people can unless they've had to fell that pain them selves. people ask me why I do this why. as a high schooler people have call me names or touch my head without permission why do I indoor the social suicide. because of the people who have to go through worse for The people who are losing the hair they once love for much longer then me the people who never age. The people who have the mantle and physical scares from surviving. the people who's cancer is to late to stop or strong. the people who watched the joy of there loved ones eyes flicker and burn out. I do this so maybe someone life can be saved from the money I raised but I can only do it with help from the people around me from please if you can donate and if not there are many ways you can help if you chouse so telling people or even learning about can go a long way
