Dream Honeymoon for Steph & Kyle
Donation protected
Please read all the reasons this beautiful 25 yr old couple deserves a honeymoon to lovingly remember.... always. The struggles have been heavy. At 15, Steph had Harrington rods installed along the length of her spine due to serious progression of scoliosis. After 3 months of recovery and just back at school, Steph had a malignant ovarian cyst burst. The following chemo treatments and surgeries were so VERY difficult. As her Mom, I want to give her the sun and the moon to make up for the horror she suffered. Kyle was her high school sweetheart at that time and he was amazing to her. Through the absence of an adolescence Kyle made as many pleasant memories as possible for her. Steph lost her hair, she had to be in isolation, she could not attend school or any functions for many months. She developed a blood clot and could not risk even the slightest chance of a bruise on strong blood thinners. That would mean no dances or events could be attended for an even longer period. Steph made it through it all, plus 5 years of specialized monitoring for a recurrence. Kyle & Steph had separated after that, but found their way back to each other at 20 yrs of age. They never expected it, but Steph became pregnant even though the chance was very low with one remaining ovary. It turned out to be a very high risk pregnancy with complete bed-rest 4 months into it and unable to work. Very low amniotic fluid had to be monitored 3 times a week. A long and frightful experience for them. The expenses to travel so far so many times a week left them financially strapped. Their beautiful daughter arrived one month early via emergency c-section, amniotic fluid was zero. They never complained, did all that was necessary for their little bundle to get here. They have both worked since age 16 and things are a struggle; so much so that Steph is feeling guilty about wanting a wedding. They both deserve to have a little reward for the difficulties they have endured. Their parents and family are doing what we can to help them have their day. I know that all the people who know them, love them. I am hoping that some of you are able to help in any small way to send them on a honeymoon. <3
