THE MINUS ONE: A Memoir of Survival, from Kolkata to the Kitchen

01/12/2026

I spent fifteen years fighting beside my son Isaiah as he survived childhood cancer, only to watch him grow into a young adult with almost no support once he passed the age where the system still cares. Because he smiled and loved life, people assumed he was okay, even while his body and spirit carried the weight of everything he had endured. We were denied help again and again because he was no longer considered a “child,” even though the struggle never stopped — emotionally, medically, or financially. I worked, advocated, and cared for him while quietly drowning, knowing that if something happened to me first, he would have no one. Now he is gone, and I am left with both unbearable grief and the truth that survivors and their families are often abandoned when they need help the most. I’m sharing this because our story deserves to be seen. 💔
