The Smith Family Cancer Fight

CANCER HAS NO MERCY...

My niece Brianna, who is only 23 years old, has been diagnosed with very aggressive cancer. Her test have shown the possibility of two types: one tested positive for T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (invading her chest), the other one she is still waiting for to see if it is in her bone marrow.

Brianna is 23 years old and a mother of two young boys: Carter 5 and Logan 2. Her first son Carter was born premature @ 1lb 12 oz., her mother (parents) have been caring of him practically from the beginning. He has Autism and requires constant supervision.

She is very sick and is scared of the outcome of the test results. She needs her parents there for support, but they are seven (7) hours away.  Understandably we all want to be there in what may be her final days or help her battle this killer. We are a caring family; however we lack the financial means to continue to support her family alone.

Brianna went to the hospital just days ago because she had difficulty breathing and had pain in her side: which lead them to find that her lung was collapsed and  had fluid in her chest.  A tube was inserted to help drain the fluid. It was then that they discovered a large mass in her chest cavity and with that came a diagnosis of cancer.

My sister’s family has already had a devastating loss of a child: Edward (son) at the age of 18 which they haven’t been able to fully recover,  They have to care for and support their grandson with Autism and  now their only child Brianna (23) is fighting for her life. They never get a break from the cruel things in life.

In the days to come Brianna will need emotional and physically help. The obligation this will destroy them financially. They will have to travel 7 hours to  get to her, get lodging and then find someone to care for Carter. They are not able to maintain this financially, they live like the rest of us paycheck to paycheck, just  making ends meet.

I am asking for help! They have suffered the loss of their son Ed and now the possibility of Brianna. Please help me keep the family with her as she fights for her life. Any little bit can help. 

If you cannot donate please share on your social media to help us reach as many people as possible.

Our family wants to thank all who generously support my sister and her husband to be able to be there to help Brianna in her battle with cancer and we will post updates regularly.

I also want to thank those who already gave donations. We greatly appreciate everything you have done.

All funds are going to Penny & Edward Smith.
