My awesome mom!

Here's my story, my life as a child was very poor but wouldn't change a day of it i left my mom's nest at 17 to meet my biological father and experience his life in Des Moines iowa, at 18-19 things became rough and financially tight like most everyone working 9-5, i reached 24 yrs old and met a friend who helped me get a better job at the place he worked and I immediately loved it and very quickly became great at it and rose to supervisor status, I was a high rise window cleaner and also did building repairs that involve repelling in a bosen chair from ropes. Im highly trained in everything involved with aerial work,safety and rescue, ive been in many newspapers and on several news broadcast displaying the property being worked on or a small story. I also had the wonderful opportunities every so often to do a place called blank children's hospital and would dress up with coworkers in super hero costumes and work all day swinging around doing windows and waving at the sick children inside or below us and each drop to the ground we always made a point to interact with the kids, I believe we became nation wide known for that decision to start doing it. Loved it so much, well I needed up falling in love with a narcissist woman and spent 10 years together, I embraced her 3 daughters immediately and treated them as my own and still do, we had a great life for several years before she started to become very cruel and cold and I never experienced something like that and was in constant confusion and it ruined so much of my life's work I built quickly. We had 2 beautiful grandchildren I was Papa and they adored me,, she became sick and I stayed at her side and we got news one day from the doctor saying her heart and lungs were failing her slowly and gave her 3 months to live and it devastated us all and she was brought home and we did hospice for her, it was terrifying for me to sit each day and experience that, our oldest daughter couldn't take the toll of kids,work and taking care of her even though we helped everyday and placed her in a hospice facility but somehow out of nowhere by God's grace her body just rejected the morphine doses every 2 hours and she literally got up and checked herself out and found a ride home and we learned that her heart was regaining more and more functioning back and allowing her lungs to fix back to normal, her heart went from barley 20 or less percent functioning to a 90 percent and doctors just told us they never seen that happen and couldn't tell us anything but its a miracle. We all decided to move to Florida and live happy together so I got us a house there and spent every dime I had and loaded us all up and I drove them from Iowa to the new house and unpacked but had to go back to Iowa and finish our previous home and get it sold ASAP and return, somehow a month into it everything fell apart faster than ive ever experienced and she began seeing someone else and the narcissist behavior skyrocketed and I didn't understand any of it and it took me down to a dangerously dark and lonely place because I literally had no one to turn to but a few friends, I'd lost my whole family like I never existed and made a suicide attempt by undoing my seatbelt and running my car into a light pole at over 70 mph because I believed that was the only way to stop the hurt and pain and loss, I didn't succeed in the attempt and was still in a dark place, one of my friends secretly called my mom and she dropped everything and came and picked me up and took me back to her home, my mother has without batting an eyes taken in my aunts children and raised them and when they moved on their own she took care of my other aunt who was dying and her kids to as well as my grandfather and grandma in their last years plus alright when they passed away at her home after my aunt passed she began caring for a mentally unstable cousin's 3 children and all while doing this maintaining a 5 day a week job juggling all of those hurdles plus saving me in the process. This woman has never taken a break from anything for over 40 years straight while dealing with breastfeeding cancer and a neurological problem that causes her eye and corner of her mouth to forever twitch and blink. You can tell it really bothers her and has the biggest heart and soul on earth and tries to mask it so people dont stare. She's so wonderful and needs a chance to spend some time to rest and atleast enjoy a little vacation for her and all she has done above herself. I was in the process of building that up for her before it was all taken away from me overnight. I feel so sorry for her and wish I could help but by the time I'd reach that goal it would be far to late for her to have the health and ability to do so. Im currently in the very beginning stages of creating a unique air bnb in our small town of yellville arkansas near buffalo national river among a few other tourist destinations. Im going to build several adult sized fairytale designed and themed treehouse getaways on our property each unit secluded in deep forest foliage so each one is completely private and offering year round rentals with private hot tubs built in the trees as well with warm lit swing bridges connected to the treehouse and hot tub with fire pits and trails for travels who visit the tourist areas. Cabins and campgrounds are all thats around and ive asked over a hundred random people the choices and added trehouses with it and everyone immediately said treehouses as their choice. Ill be the only one with that advantage over basic cabins and the profit margins are hard to ignore but im still a ways away from achieving the construction process due to funding it and by the time profits start showing after its done she will be unable or sadly gone 😢. I was talking with her about it all and shes wanting to get me a loan on our 10 acre property she worked so hard for since I was young and I will not allow that for a second, no way! When we were talking about ideas I seen her start to glow and it made me smile and want to give her something special asap before I can't. But I noticed one day she was scrolling her phone daydreaming about a trip shes wanted to experience for as long as I can remember and all she has been able to do for over 49 years is constantly swipe through photo after photo and probably seen every photo ever taken of this place by everyone who ever went and you can see the look in her eyes and id sell my soul to make it happen for her in an instant because she deserves so much more for everything she has done for everyone around her including myself. She dreams of going to Tahiti in Bora Bora and the French Polynesian islands. I've looked into pricing and its nothing i can come close to achieving for her in time, it would take me a few years to save up unless our treehouse idea is up and running ti pay for it which would in about 12 months of operation from my calculations but I dont rely on that especially in the position ive had to be in these past few months and losing all I lost. But I dont care about me ill get by somehow. All I care about is helping her get what she greatly deserves. Im not a person who has ever asked for any kind of help because of how I was raised, my grandfather and grandmother and mom taught me to always help people that genuinely need it because thats the way the world should be so nobody on earth is ever hungry or goes without and to love with no restrictions and ive always done the best I can to keep that going because it feels indescribable when you see how it affects whoever your helping out in some small way. Nothing can top that emotion. Im not wanting handouts at all and not asking for free money. That's not who I am or want to be. Any help with making her dream come true this one time would be given back and I would stop until its all given right back because I can absolutely achieve the goal of making her dream a reality but I just dont have enough time before its to late to give her. Anything helps and absolutely will be paid back the very first check when I get this treehouse resort going
