Amber & Ava's Leukemia Battle
Donation protected
Amber is a single, very hard working mom of (almost 4 year old) Little Miss Ava. She is very dedicated to their health and wellness. She spends all of her free time caring for "her best friend". Ava was born with a pre-existing medical condition called fetal hydrops - a rare, life-threatening condition. Roughly half of all unborn babies diagnosed with fetal hydrops do not survive. As her 4th birthday approaches, Ava has already beat the odds and is truly Amber's miracle baby. In addition to her pre existing condition, Ava was diagnosed with leukemia this Wednesday. She will begin her 8 month chemotherapy journey this Friday. With the diagnosis, Amber has had to step away from work to be at Ava's hospital bedside. The reality of this diagnosis, being a single mother and no family nearby, is Amber will have to significantly reduce her hours at work (if she's able to work at all) in order to provide the care that Ava will need, especially due to their limited support circle and the fact that Ava can no longer attend daycare while undergoing chemo. As the only source of income, this will greatly impact their quality of life! Your donation to their cause would help with cost of living; any medical bills not covered by insurance; make up for Amber's lost wages - to help ensure a safe, warm home with food in the fridge for Ava to come home too; and any other unlikely events that might arise during this time of need.
