A message from Mihaela:

I don’t even know how to begin this... I’m writing this as a mother who is simply overwhelmed by pain. For a year and a half, I have been fighting with everything I have—months of hospital stays, endless treatments, and the constant hope that I would get better. But my latest MRI took all that away. The tumor has grown, and I can feel the life draining out of me a little more every day.

My vision is failing, I can barely walk, and some days the pain is just too much to handle. But none of that compares to the heartbreak of looking at my four-year-old daughter. When she comes to me, hugs me tight, and whispers, “Mommy, it’s going to be okay,” it breaks me. A child that young should be playing and laughing, not learning what it feels like to be afraid of losing her mother. That is why I can’t stop fighting. I can’t give up on her.

She is my entire world. It’s those little arms around my neck that keep me going. I’m not asking for a miracle or a fortune; I just want a chance to live. I want to be there to raise her. I want to be the mother she deserves.

If you are reading this, I am begging you from the bottom of my heart—please don’t look away. A prayer, a share, or any help you can give means the world to me. It is the only hope I have that I won’t be leaving my little girl all alone.

Thank you for giving me the strength to keep believing.
