Her oldest son has been @ St. Francis Hospital since April in which they 
found out he had stomach cancer. He has had several surgeries and several 
treatments of chemo. She had to take a leave of absence from her job and the 
money she has had has ran out. Since then she has lost her vehicle since she 
couldn't pay the monthly payments.. She's a single mother of 3 with no outside 
support what so ever. She has spent every night @ her sons side only to leave 
for dinner or a fresh change of clothing. Her 2 younger children have since 
gone to their Grandmothers in Colorado so she can care for them and send them 
to school. So again another hardship of not seeing her other 2 childeran.. She 
is in desperate need and this is the only way I know to help. I thank you for 
this opportunity and God Bless you for all that you help.
Update:
Cooper's friends filled the 1997 Saturn SL1 with presents for her and her two children. Penny Allen, a friend a former co-worker, nominated her to receive the car and helped collect the gifts.
"Since then people started donating cash, and it just snowballed from there," Allen said.
In April, Cooper's 12-year-old son, Khalil Reed, went to the doctor after complaining of stomachaches at school. A day later he was diagnosed with Burkitt's lymphoma, a fast-growing cancer, and underwent surgery that day at Via Christi Regional Medical Center-St. Joseph Campus. After three more surgeries and five rounds of chemotherapy, he died Dec. 9.
Cooper lost her job at a Holiday Inn and her car because she could not go to work or make car payments while staying by Khalil's bedside.
"It was one of the things where I felt like I needed to be there with him," Cooper said. "I felt like my other kids understood that I needed to be there."
In July her two younger children moved in with their grandmother in Blanca, Colo. Cooper will take her new car, full of presents, to Colorado this week to visit them.
"After everything I had been through, this is such a blessing," she said.
