She would stop at nothing to keep her family safe. Even if she had only a dime to save her life she would give it away.

She took with us, a friend of the family, my uncle, and cousin in that small house. Finally, We moved into our own home. But my mom still struggled a little. During Christmas my mom had to work to get us things. My Grandma knew that she was very sick, yet she still does all she could to get us all the stuff we wanted.
