Mother Of 11 Suddenly Passes Away From Breast Cancer, The Older Children Pick Up The Pieces

Michigan mother, Rashida Lawson, had 11 children ranging from 4 to 23-years-old that she loved and cared for everyday. She also had another grandchild on the way and a nephew she took care of as well. Lawson sadly passed away last week from stage 4 breast cancer, leaving her older children to pick up where she left off caring for their younger siblings.

Lawson became sick earlier this month and was taken to the hospital, where doctors discovered that she had stage 4 breast cancer. A week later, she was gone. Her daughter Tamera Stone said, “Her chest was leaking. She thought it was milk and stuff. We were like ma, you’ve got to go get this checked out, this is very serious. She was okay and a week later, boom.”

Lawson’s sudden death thrust her daughters, Tamera and Destiny,  into full time caregivers for their siblings. “We’re battling with the financial problems right now,” Tamera said. “And considering that school is still in, we have to pick up the pieces where our mom left off at. Right now we’re on our own.” The children lost their father 10 years ago.

Lawson’s son Kenneth said, “Some people still have their parents and tell you it is going to be okay, it’s not. We don’t know it’s going to be okay. We don’t have our parents anymore we just have each other.” He continued, “It’s a lot on everybody’s shoulders right now. We don’t know what we have to do. We’re just lost.” Tamera chimed in, “She was the glue that held us together. She didn’t want to break us down. She didn’t want us worrying about her.”

The family initially created a GoFundMe account to raise money for their mother’s burial and were able to reach their goal of $100,000 and exceeded it by almost $37,000.

Let’s keep this family lifted in prayer ??It takes a village!
