Help Nevaeh beat Leukemia

Donation protected
On Saturday May 30th I received a shocking phone call from my friend/neighbor that her sweet daughter Nevaeh was diagnosed with Leukemia and that they were packing and heading to Stanford Hospital immediately.  The news the Karraker family received on Saturday was news we all fear.  These next few days will be filled with more tests, blood transfusions and a bone marrow test.  The doctor's did find out that the type of cancer she has is the most treatable (B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) which is good news.  She will have to be in the hospital for the next 2 weeks and then home to continue her treatment for the next 2 years.

For those of you that don't know  Nevaeh she is a strong, bright, smart, beautiful 14 year old, who has a smile that lights up anyone's day.  She has the biggest heart and is a pure pleasure to be around.  She loves going to the beach, riding bikes, skateboarding, fishing and enjoys playing the drums.  Nevaeh has 2 younger sisters, Ruby and Jasmine whom she loves and adores with all her heart.

Due to the circumstances surrounding the current pandemic, Nevaeh's parents are unable to spend time together at the hospital, nor is she allowed any visitors.  Leah and John will take turns by her side as Nevaeh endures Chemotherapy.  

As you can imagine, this will all likely be incredibly expensive and we all want Nevaeh to receive the best care available from the most qualified nurses, doctors, oncologists & specialist, while her doctors are creating a treatment plan.  We hope to take away some of the financial stress for them, so I am asking for assistance for the Karraker's during this challenging time.  This will allow them to concentrate on whats truly important.... helping Nevaeh beat this!!!!  

Please consider donating to, and/or sharing our GoFundMe Page.  All donations will be used for medical expenses, lost wages and miscellaneous expenses for the family.  Any donation of any size is greatly appreciated, no matter what.

Thank you for your generosity and please know that they are extremely appreciative of you all and feel very loved from the outpouring of support and encouragement they have already received from texts, calls and Facebook!  Here is to hoping for the best results moving forward.

Thank you
