Aid Violett's Battle and Family's Recovery

Donation protected

Hi, my name is Paige, Our daughter Violett was diagnosed with ALL (Acute lymphoblastic leukemia) at the age of 8 months old. She has two older brothers Rhoman (5) and Jameson (4) The day she was diagnosed our world stopped, everything began happening in slow motion and the amount of emotion that came over us was something we have never experienced, nor wanted to ever experience. We spent every second with her in the hospital for the entire year in a half that seemed like it was a lifetime. We lost our housing due to both my fiance and I not working, we were living out of hotels in downtown Chicago so her father and brothers could be close by incase anything were to happen. Unfortunately, we never came back from that situation. We are now living in a motel with 3 little ones, we pay $450 a week to stay because with violett not having insurance I am now $50,000 in debt and most places look at credit score. Violett is still in active treatment and requires 3 different types of medication per week, one which she takes every day is her chemotherapy. She has also lost hearing in her right ear due to her Intensive chemotherapy and requires a hearing aid. She has appointments once a month, sometimes more to check her levels and see how she is responding to medications. Winter is coming quick and it will be rough, she is neutropenic and has zero immune system. We are guaranteed at least 1 inpatient stay from her becoming sick and her body not being able to fight anything off. All of this still feels like a nightmare we can't wake up from, we never know what could happen tomorrow as she is still fighting to beat cancer. We are asking for just a little support during this time of need, to help make things seem like there is a rainbow on the other side of the storm, at least for my babies.
