Help Sara Stand Up to Cancer!

Donation protected
Last week on May 8th, 2018, the Breneman family got news no one ever wants to hear.  Tim and Maryline's 10 year old daughter Sara was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). 

Sara had not been feeling well when a small lump appeared on her neck.  She was treated for tonsillitis but did not improve.  She then went to an ENT, but still Sara was not getting any better.  When the lump grew and she broke out into a rash, the doctors sent Sara to CHOA Egelston in Atlanta where she was quickly admitted.  Thankfully Sara was able to quickly begin chemotherapy treatments which she is undergoing now.  The time from the assumed swollen gland to her diagnosis was less the 3 weeks.


AML is a fast-growing cancer of the bone marrow and blood cells. Cells that should become white blood cells do not fully grow.  They do not fight infection like a normal white blood cells should.  These cells can grow quickly and spill into the blood traveling to other parts of the body. 

We have started this campaign because of the significant financial impact this unexpected challenge will have on Sara and her family.  Sara and her family would be very grateful for your help in taking on the financial challenges that they are facing now and will continue to face in the days and months ahead.  Pediatric hospitalization costs for cancer treatment in one year on average exceeds $40,000.  Tim will be taking a leave of absence from work for at least 6 months so that Maryline and he can take care of Sara and her two sisters Alexis and Danielle. 

Your contribution will help Sara and her family pay for the costs they face as Sara  fights her battle against Leukemia.   Even the smallest donations will add up so please donate and spread the word to help.



Sara attends Welch Elementary in Newnan, Ga and is in the 5th grade.  Her sisters Alexis and Danielle are both in 8th grade and attend Arnall Middle School also in Newnan.
