Amelia's Medical Fund
Donation protected
I am Melinda Bonson. I am trying to raise money for my daughter Samantha and her husband Todd.
Samantha and Todd Jensen are a family of 5 soon to be 6. We just found out Saturday December 3rd, that my granddaughter Amelia, who is 1 1/2 years old has cancer on her left hip that extends into the bone and is protruding against her spinal cord. Samantha also has two older daughters, Jazmine who is 5 and Lena who is 3. She is also pregnant with my grandson Gavin, who is due February 10th. They have been trying to figure out what is wrong with my granddaughter for the past month and a half. Amelia stopped walking around the 10th of October, was very fussy, and said owe a lot. They took Amelia to the ER several times. The first time she saw the doctor they said Amelia was constipated and told Samantha to give Amelia fiber. When that did not help, they took her to one ER and waited 5 hours with a crying baby without any assistance. Then they took her to another ER that finally saw her and found out she had a massive urinary tract infection. Even after the antibiotics, Amelia was still not walking and we could see that her legs were limp when you picked her up, and when she did try and stand with assistance from furniture, her legs were very wobbly. She was finally seen by her pediatrician Dec 2nd and they referred her to the children's hospital where she was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma and started on Chemo treatment.
My daughter and her husband will miss quite a bit of work and has to remain in Seattle WA instead of being able to come home to Olympia WA. The doctors do not want Amelia to be more than 45 miles from the hospital in case she gets a fever or has complications from her treatment.
Unfortunately, Samantha and Todd were already struggling to keep the bills caught up and with missing work and Christmas right around the corner, it will be very difficult for them financially as they have to stay in Seattle for the next 8 months. The cost of living is quite higher in Seattle than it is in Olympia.
I am hoping that you will find it in your hearts to help my daughter, her husband, my granddaughters, and my soon to be grandson.
It would mean the world to me to be able to relieve some of the stress that my daughter and her husband are facing during this difficult time. That way they can focus on helping my granddaughter get better rather than worrying about how they are going to take care of the rest of their family. I appreciate any prayers, sharing of the go fund me page, and/or assistance you can provide.
