Luke didn’t reach out just to ask for help.

He reached out because he’s trying to hold onto his mom.

Her name is Norma. She’s 47, from Corpus Christi—a speech therapist who spent years helping children find their voices. People describe her as full of life, humor, and heart. The kind of person who gave more than she ever asked for in return.

But Norma’s story isn’t just one of kindness.
It’s one of unimaginable strength.

She is a five-time leukemia survivor.

For more than a decade, she fought with everything she had—chemotherapy, two bone marrow transplants, experimental treatments. Each time the disease came back, she rose to meet it again.

Again.
And again.
And again.

But now… the fight has reached a place no one wanted.

Doctors have told her there are no options left.

She is in hospice.

Last month, she shared words no one is ever ready to say:
“This is the end for me… leukemia has taken over… I’m very sad and scared.”

After everything she’s endured… this is the moment she’s facing now.

And beside her is Luke—her only son—trying to be strong while preparing for the hardest goodbye of his life.

He isn’t asking for much.

Just help to give his mom a proper farewell.
Cremation. A small service at her church.
A way to honor a woman who spent her life giving to others.

But more than anything…

He doesn’t want her story to fade away quietly.

Because Norma is more than her illness.
More than these final days.

She is a fighter.
A caregiver.
A mother who raised a son strong enough to stand up and share her story with the world.

So this isn’t just a request for support.

It’s a moment to remember her.
To honor her.
To make sure her life—her strength, her love—doesn’t go unnoticed.

If her story moves you, don’t let it stop here.

Share it.
Say her name.
Help Luke carry her story forward.

Because some lives deserve to be remembered—
loudly, fully, and with all the love they gave to others.
