Help Annie Kate fight cancer

My daughter, Annie Kate Goodwin (Dougherty), is fighting for her life. She was diagnosed in Spring 2016 with CML - Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. She and her husband, Darian, are facing overwhelming medical expenses. Her doctors have scheduled a stem cell transplant to begin in November. She'll be hospitalized 4 - 6 weeks at the University of California San Francisco Hospital. We are very lucky in that her brother Chris is a perfect match and will be donating his stem cells. Once she is able to go home, her dad Frank will begin a 100 day commitment as her 24/7 caregiver. She won't be able to leave her apartment during this time because the transplant chemotherapy removes all immunities. She'll even need to repeat all the usual "baby" shots beginning a year after the transplant. The soonest she will be able to return to work is 2018.  
This is a life-threatening procedure, and we just hope that this request for help gives AK and Darian some relief, with the ability to concentrate on getting well. Annie Kate loves her family, Bengals football, and Gusto, her employer! She can't wait to have more gorgeous San Francisco day relaxing with Darian and their dog, Quentin. Thank you to everyone kind enough to share this message, and to help, whether it's a donation or a prayer.
