Michael's Stem Cell Transplant
Donation protected
My husband, the father of two minor children was diagnosed with stage 4 Acute T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma in November of 2010 at age 30. He fought long and hard with high doses of chemo and radiation for 2 years going into remission in November of 2012, but was left disabled and on permanent disability. Since then we have had to completely start over with myself as our primary wage earner and it has been an uphill battle. We now look to lose everything again as the treatment that was used to save his life has now caused him to develop secondary myelodysplastic syndrome also known as treatment related MDS. The only cure, the only way to save his life is by having a stem cell transplant. Now because of this new diagnosis and treatment we risk losing everything again just when we were finally getting our life back. I will be having to take any where from 3 to 6 months off work if things go well to care for my husband. I am using all the resources I can find, but it won't be enough to keep our bills paid and pay for the traveling expenses while I am out of work unpaid. I am not one who finds it easy to ask for help but my family needs all the help we can get. If you can donate please consider my family for your donation, if you are unable to donate please share our story and encourage those you know to help if they can.
