Babette Sylvain's Medical Expenses

Donation protected
This is my very best friend Babette Sylvain. She is the most beautiful, strong, vibrant 42 year old woman I have ever known. She has been a great blessing to me, my family, her 4 children, 2 grand children, family, friends and strangers. Babette has ALWAYS been a giver and not a taker, she would go above and beyond to help someone in need, even if it is just to make them smile and feel good about themselves. When she walks into a room she brings a smile to everyones face around her. Babette lives on her own along with her youngest of 4, her 10 year old daughter Journey, whom is quiet the mommas girl. 

Earlier this year Babette was diagnosed with Invasive Papillary Carsnoma breast cancer and has tested positive for the genetic gene mutations BRCA 1 and 2 meaning that she has a long road ahead of her. Along with this she has also been diagnosed with Crohn's disease and Diverticulitis that has put her in the hospital in a critical state a few times just this year. She has been through several surgeries and procedures and now the aggressive chemotherapy with radiation to follow after the 1st of the year. Needless to say she is going through SO MUCH at one time but yet seems to find the strength to smile and stay strong for her kids, family, friends and loved ones. She just doesn't want anyone to be sad or worried on her behalf.

Babette has to travel a good distance for her treatments and she has to depend on her family, kids  and friends to get her to and from chemo when she's not physically able or her car is down. When the radiation begins it will require her to be there 3 to 4 times weekly.

Babette has a really hard time asking for help and she just goes without alot of things that she needs including good transportation. She has applied for disability but as we all know that is a long process of denials until they finally approve her. She lives on very little and her 1st priority is her 10 year old daughter Journey. Her insurance does not pay for some of the medicine that she needs so she has to pick and choose the one's that she can afford to get. Her mom has been helping her financially as much as she can but the expenses are just getting overwhelming for the both of them.

I am asking all of you to please help Babette financially so she gets the medicine and transportation she needs to help her and make life a little less stressful for her in this trying time. She told me today that her dream is to give her little girl (Journey) and her family the best Christmas ever this year and I would love to see that happen for her as well as her financial needs met. If you can not give anything please just say a prayer for her. Anything would be SO appreciated at this time. 

Thank you all and may God Bless you
