The Meadow Springs family are trying to raise money to help their mother battling with a rare type of cancer.

Meadow Springs mother of three Brenda Preston is living with a cancer called Mycosis Fungoids, it's a rare form of lymphoma.

The 32 year old was diagnosed back in May this year, and has already had one surgery where 19 tumors were removed.

She said since the surgery doctors have found more tumors in different areas of her body.

The family are asking for anyone in a position to provide a hand to donate some money to help the family keep their lights on and food at the table. 

Brenda's husband quit work earlier this year to care for his wife and three children.

Their youngest child, only 17 months old, was born with club feet and has already had multiple surgeries to correct this.

Brenda plans to have another surgery in January 2018 to remove more tumors and have a total hysterectomy to reduce the risk of more growing in that area. 

Following that surgery, there are also plans to have another large tumor removed from her liver and six more found in her lungs and pancreas.

On the go fund me page set up by the family Brenda said "I'm honestly terrified on what the future holds and feel like the biggest failure to my sons.

We need your help please to just get through the next few months so we can survive this battle without losing everything."

The family are trying to raise $7,000 to help combat their bills and feed the children, not to mention Brenda's medical bills and constant transport costs.
