Dear family and my Fundly friends,
Today, I am sharing with You my sister's story.
Her name is Shalonda D. Tillman. She is a 34
year old Single Mother of 3 young children. She is
from Markham, IL and attended Hillcrest High
School and graduated. She has always held
good quality jobs and took care of herself and
her kids for the last 15 years of her life. She is
not one to ask for help or a handout. But to be
honest with You, it's to a point now where I'm
asking you to step in with just a small donation
today to help support her children so they no
longer have to suffer. This is all a direct result
of the aftermath of 'fighting for your life' all while
trying to manage the excruciating stress and pain
from Stage 4 Breast Cancer that has spread
all over her body. You can't perform at
work and they find out and now you are out of a
job...just like that. Wow...It really hurts sharing
that truth with you. But it's real right?
I reached out to You because she is now
in financial danger and the weight of that stress
on her and especially the children has caused
me, her big brother, to create this fundraiser to
provide support for her and her 3 young children
today, including a 6 year old. We need to act fast.
You are kind and compassionate. You are
strong and loyal. Please donate today.
The battle against breast #cancer in
#SingleMothers with children
can be very stressful. Would you agree?
Being under great financial stress is
counter productive when you have
#stage4 #breastcancer.
It has taken a toll on her and our family.
Shalonda has experienced some of the
following since being diagnosed with
Stage 4 Breast Cancer:
I’m asking You to please donate today
anything to help Shalonda and her children.
You can contact me now if you know any
resources that may lend a hand as well I’m
sure anything helps because she needs the
financial support to have access too healthy
food, toys/clothing for her kids.
“Would you be willing to help by giving a
donation today? Every penny will help.”
100% of your donations will fund the children
with toys and provide a quick small gift card
for her and the children's immediate needs.
Again, I've been here with Shalonda since July
helping support her financially, going to chemo
appointments with her and making things
easier overall for her. So that's me supporting
for 6 months. I'm not asking you to take
that much time to help support her today
with your small donation. I'm only asking
you for just '15 seconds of your time'. That's
how short it takes to take to donation with your
credit card today and support Shalonda Tillman
and her children here on this Fundly fundraiser.
Thank you again for supporting her today.
You are the greatest.
Anthony

{The Story}
Us vs. Them
When I first heard about the Cancer...
Go big or go home is what I thought
to myself after seeing the growing
Cancerous #tumor on my sisters left
breast. A lump so big, deceptive and
evil growing uncontrollably inside her
left breast...so much to a point where
it actually made her 4-foot 11-inch body
lean down to the left slightly as she
walked to Chemotherapy, around the
house...everywhere. My soul was
suspended in disbelief. My friend, my
homie, my sister. All her life I was the
brother protecting her, helping her with
her school work, fighting people who
disrespected her...kinda of reminds You
of your own sister huh?
I still remember the day she called me
on a video call and asking me to come to
Chicago to support her mentally and just
be here with her.
When I first heard this, to be honest,
it was very challenging because I
just started a new job and promised
my kids a few things that would require
me to be where I lived (#Atlanta). I
was devastated seeing this and knowing
this. But despite me not wanting to give
up things I loved, I knew my baby sister needed
my presence there with her. Not just
any presence but the presence of a
family member who really gave a damn
about her truly...me.
We both knew it.
So I took a stand against the people who
SAY that they cared but didn't really show it.
I took a stand against this bully: Cancer and
told her. "Yes!, I will be there to support
everyday 110% sis."
My parents raised us differently...
(Family Over Everything) was the #motto.
And now because of You and your gift today
we stand together in a collective effort to fight.
Your donation today will help in the support
of the children which she can not financially
support 100% at this time and it hurts honestly
seeing this.
To say meeting our goal of $3,120.64 would
require a strong commitment on your part
would be an understatement. But with this
type of deadly cancer inside my baby sister's
body: Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer,
acting today with just a small donation would
really help today.
“I am asking you for help here because
we need to get quick resources to help
support the children and my sister to
help ease mental and financial suffering."
_____________________________________________________________
{The Purpose}
“I wanted to do something that used every
ounce of my mental and physical being to
demonstrate my support for people suffering
with this #devastating disease." In this case, my
sister Shalonda Tillman. I just remember thinking
“I hope my journey of kindful acts inspires others
to do whatever they can to help us win the fight
against Cancer!.”
_____________________________________________________________
{The Plan}
Once the goal is reached at approximately 10:12 a.m.,
I will surprise my sister and 4 other Cancer victims
with toys, gifts and clothing for their children since they can
not work right now and are unemployed and don't
have enough to experience happiness and joy with
their kids at this time. So 5 single moms, victims to
stage 4 Breast Cancer, 17 children. 22 Souls total
helped "because of YOU" :-) I intend to get the gifts
from Walmart, Whole Foods, Target and a few special
gifts from Amazon Prime.
Along the way I will pass through traffic, snow and
freezing weather to get to 4 Chicago, IL cities raising
Cancer awareness by making them happier that day
cities including Markham, IL; Matteson, IL; Harvey, IL;
Homewood, IL.

{The Goal}
After looking at the need, we have set a financial
goal of $3,120.64, which means that You can truly
help the children today with your donation now.
“We need your help because the children of single
mothers with Cancer experience a lot of sadness
and starvation of happiness. With your donation
you end the struggle today and bring joy and
relief to innocent children.
Going through #Chemotherapy is very stressful
as well as spending every Dime you get from
social security on Rent.. sometimes even having
to borrow money just to meet a $500 a month
rent payment. No money is left over to support
the kids. Kids just want toys, candy, and love.
Would You agree?
Today because of You now, all that will change
for them.
Thank you.
