#vickieStronger

Vickie Mannino and her family continue to need our love and support as she fights complications of Acute Lymphoblastic B-Cell Leukemia. After battling and conquering breast cancer 10 years ago, her recent diagnosis has proved to be an unprecedented struggle.  Vickie suffered physically, forced to endure devastating loneliness and physical setbacks while hospitalized during the pandemic. We are forever grateful for the previous financial & emotional support everyone demonstrated through the last GoFundMe page fundraiser, #VickieStrong. No one could have anticipated that Vickie's fight would've been this life-altering.   She has  experienced complications post stem cell transplant that has had her in the hospital since 10/13/21.

Vickie has the most devoted husband, Jack and amazing daughter Julieanna.  Due to COVID policies and restrictions, they have had to advocate on Vickie's behalf without the support of extended family and friends. They have been by her bedside every day since 10/13/21 as often as  hospital COVID restrictions have allowed.    Vickie celebrated Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years without being surrounded by family and friends.  Beyond her physical health, Vickie's mental health has suffered during the pandemic restrictions.  The loneliness and emotional toll that she and her family has had to withstand has been unimaginable.   Please show her that we are all praying and fighting along with her beyond her bedside.

The expenses of her extensive hospitalization and transport to re-hab facilities and, unfortunately, back to the hospital have proved to be beyond conceivable. It is so imperative that the family gets the financial reprieve at this time so that they can be free to be there for Vickie physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Thank you for all of your love & support for Vickie.  She's been fighting every day to get back to singing and dancing in her kitchen.
