Story

Barbara Alman, is a remarkable 61-year-old woman who has been courageously fighting colorectal cancer since August 2016. Throughout her journey, Barbara has shown incredible strength and resilience with God by her side. However, her fight is reaching a difficult conclusion, as her body is no longer able to keep up with the toll this disease has taken. Over the years, the effects of cancer have led to significant vision loss and severe coordination issues, leaving her reliant on a walker or wheelchair for mobility. Her lungs are weakening, requiring her to be on oxygen, and she is struggling with independence—a quality she has cherished all her life. Barbara has always been the pillar of her family, raising her granddaughter while living independently. Barb is no longer able to take care of her self and her mom is with her, as her job is allowed her to work remotely. However, her time is mainly devoted to take care of Barb and working.
