Stacey and Cary Moore are big on family. Really big.

The Chilliwack couple has raised an impressive 58 children over several decades, between their two biological daughters, Amara and Cassie, foster children, and those they香蕉视频直播檝e adopted. It香蕉视频直播檚 a jaw-dropping number, and some have been with them longer than others 香蕉视频直播� but they can recall every single one of them.

香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e a busy household,香蕉视频直播� Stacey says, as their seven-year-old daughter Maggie zooms around their living room. Maggie is globally delayed and despite her size is developmentally a two-year-old. She was one of their many foster children, and they adopted Maggie soon after she came to them.

But now, that happy, busy lifestyle has been slowed almost to a halt.

Earlier this year, Stacey was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a form of bone cancer. Cancer cells have been found in high concentration in her bone marrow, and she香蕉视频直播檚 currently undergoing treatment to extend her lifespan.

But it香蕉视频直播檚 not a cure.

香蕉视频直播淭here is no cure,香蕉视频直播� Cary explains. 香蕉视频直播淏ut if this is not working, we can try other things.香蕉视频直播�

She is in chemotherapy treatments these days, and stem cell therapy will happen later this year.

Whatever comes in the next few months, they want to get through it as a family. And that香蕉视频直播檚 going to mean Cary stays off work as a flight attendant. It香蕉视频直播檚 a change that香蕉视频直播檚 going to cut deep into their finances for that loss of income and benefit coverage.

And while initially he didn香蕉视频直播檛 want to ask the community for donations, the reality of the level of care needed in their home began to sink in. They are a Level 2 foster care home through the Ministry of Families and Children, with training requirements for themselves and any caregivers they bring in.

香蕉视频直播淚n order for us to have any reprieve, it香蕉视频直播檚 a challenge,香蕉视频直播� Cary says. 香蕉视频直播淲e can香蕉视频直播檛 just have anyone in here.香蕉视频直播�

They are also a 香蕉视频直播淪afe Baby香蕉视频直播� home through the ministry, and have had many babies, and children with special needs, come to stay with them. On average, a child stays about two years. They also spend a lot of time with the families of the children they care for, getting to know and helping with eventual replacing them into their family香蕉视频直播檚 home.

香蕉视频直播淪ome of them we see still, and some we don香蕉视频直播檛,香蕉视频直播� he adds. One of their sons, Andrew, died tragically two years ago at age 26.

They have done so much for Chilliwack香蕉视频直播檚 children, that their church and family and friends urged them to go along with a GoFundMe fundraiser. Cary has already been off work a lot through their cancer journey.

Stacey香蕉视频直播檚 illness started to manifest itself with an intense earache that wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 go away 香蕉视频直播� even with antibiotics. She says she had been getting giant cold sores, and was feeling more and more ill. Her eardrum finally burst, and she was in excruciating pain. Bedridden with vertigo, the once vibrant mom who could handle anything had to lean against Cary香蕉视频直播檚 back to be piggybacked to the bathroom.

When an ENT looked at her, they recall, he said 香蕉视频直播榯hat doesn香蕉视频直播檛 look right.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淭he vertigo was so bad, I could not even stand,香蕉视频直播� she says.

It wasn香蕉视频直播檛 long before they were whisked into the world of cancer care. They remain hopeful, and as Christians are using their faith for strength and courage.

They are trying to balance their busy life with caring for Stacey as well now. It香蕉视频直播檚 not as if they can send their children elsewhere, they say.

香蕉视频直播淭hat香蕉视频直播檚 our life,香蕉视频直播� Stacey says. 香蕉视频直播淭hey香蕉视频直播檙e our kids. You can香蕉视频直播檛 bubble wrap everything, you can香蕉视频直播檛 put your kids in a Ziploc bag.香蕉视频直播�

They started fostering in 1990, the same year they married. It was an easy life choice for Cary, who was raised by his parents in a very similar household.

香蕉视频直播淚 was already exposed to the need,香蕉视频直播� says Cary.

香蕉视频直播淚 was very naive,香蕉视频直播� Stacey adds. But she knew she had a bigger purpose in life. They go to a missions-minded church, and she has been to places like Africa and Haiti to help communities there.

香蕉视频直播淏ut I香蕉视频直播檝e always asked myself 香蕉视频直播榳hat else should I be doing?香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈�� she says. 香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 living my passion, which is giving back to my community.香蕉视频直播�

In addition to the GoFundMe page, Cary has been keeping a regular blog of their medical updates on a private Facebook page. They are sharing photos, stories, hopes and fears. They香蕉视频直播檙e teaching people about multiple myeloma, which isn香蕉视频直播檛 genetic and is generally a cancer that older people get.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 only 42,香蕉视频直播� Stacey says. 香蕉视频直播淚 just feel that I香蕉视频直播檓 too young.香蕉视频直播�

Their GoFundMe account is called. As of Saturday afternoon $14,000 of the $50,000 goal had been raised.
