Hi, my name is Elijah Harris, and I'm asking for help for my mom, Beverly Harris.

My mom is 53 years old, and she is fighting sarcoma — a life-threatening cancer. She has been in the hospital for about two months now, and while she has been fighting for her health, medical bills have been racking up. Our family is doing everything we can, but we can't do this alone. We are hoping to raise $15,000 to help her through this.

Beverly is the mother of three children: me, Elijah Harris, and my siblings, Niya Harris and Christian Harris. Anyone who knows her knows she is full of life. She does not deserve this. No one does. But even in the middle of the roughest time of her life, she is still looking on the bright side of it all. That is just who she is — strong, hopeful, and determined to keep going for her children and her family. Her strength inspires us every day, and it is why we are fighting so hard alongside her.

Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that develops in the body's connective tissues — including bones, muscles, tendons, cartilage, nerves, fat, and blood vessels. It makes up only about 1% of adult cancer diagnoses and has more than 70 subtypes. Treatment is often long and difficult. For Beverly, treatment means she has to get radiation and chemotherapy. Those treatments are essential in her fight against sarcoma, but they can be very expensive — on top of the hospital bills that have already been building for about two months. The cost of staying in this fight should not be what holds her back.

For about two months, Beverly has been in the hospital instead of at home with the people who love her. That's two months of tests, treatments, waiting for answers, and worrying about what comes next. For our family, it has meant watching someone we love go through something painful and frightening, trying to stay strong for her, and at the same time watching the bills pile up. Medical bills don't pause while someone is in the hospital. Everyday costs don't pause either. That is why we are asking for help now.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help our family put money directly toward Beverly's hospital and medical bills, her radiation and chemotherapy treatments, other cancer treatment and follow-up care, prescriptions and medical needs connected to her care, and the growing costs that have built up during her two months in the hospital.

Our goal is $15,000. Reaching it won't undo what Beverly is going through, but it will lift an enormous financial weight off her and our family so we can focus on what matters most: supporting her in this fight.

If you are able to donate, thank you — from the bottom of our hearts. If you can't donate right now, please share this page with your friends, family, church, and community, and please keep Beverly in your prayers and thoughts. Sharing truly helps — more people seeing her story means more people who may be able to help. We will post updates here as we are able, so you can follow Beverly's journey and see the difference your kindness is making.

Thank you for standing with Beverly Harris and our family during the hardest fight of her life.

With gratitude, Elijah Harris, Niya Harris, and Christian Harris — Beverly's children
