In November 2017 my mom, Kim, was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and admitted to Princess Margaret Hospital for a month of inpatient chemotherapy & recovery to begin her journey to becoming cancer free.

Cancer has touched our lives in many ways before and this news was both shocking and heart-wrenching for our family. Yet, mom continues to be our source of strength and inspiration as she has approached this diagnosis with optimism and determination to buckle down, get the treatment she needs, beat the disease and live her life to the fullest.

As many of you may know, my mom has four children and works her hardest to support all of us and ensure that we have every opportunity to grow and blossom. She gives all of her heart and her support to those closest to her and can always be counted on in times of need and for a great laugh.

While she is receiving treatment, there are a variety of costs associated with being in the hospital and with some of the items associated with her diagnosis (buying hats/head pieces when she looses her hair, parking and food for her children when they visit, gas to and from the city (it typically takes me and my siblings 2 + hours each way to get there), etc) and there will be medications and medical supplies needed when she returns home.

We have had a number of individuals ask if they can help in any way and the hospital suggested that we begin a GoFundMe for anyone wishing to do something.

Due to mom having a lowered immune system from the treatment, she is not able to have any flowers or living plants in her room/at home for the first while.

If you were thinking of sending flowers or a plant or wanting to do something, please consider donating to our fund so that we can get mom the items she will need instead. Even $5-$10 will help us get there ! Thank you all for all of the love !
