Round 4 of 6

Today marks Remi’s 4th round of chemo and once again she showed us what a true champ she is. On top of everything, she recently had surgery to remove benign cysts, and she continues to amaze us with her strength, courage, and sweet spirit. We are so grateful that she’s been handling treatment as well as she has, and we continue to hold on to hope that one day this will all just be a distant memory. Thank you to everyone who has kept Remi in your thoughts and prayers—your love and support mean the world. #RemiStrong #ChildhoodCancerAwareness

My first Mother’s Day took an unexpected turn…

This was supposed to be a joyful milestone—my very first Mother’s Day. Instead, I received the news that no parent ever wants to hear: my sweet baby girl, Remi, has Retinoblastoma, a rare form of eye cancer.

Due to this unexpected medical emergency, I have had to take time off work to be by Remi’s side. Unfortunately, I do not have any vacation or paid leave left, which means I will not be receiving any income during this critical time.

I’m humbly asking for support from friends, family, and kind strangers. Every donation—no matter the amount—will go directly toward medical bills, medications, and everyday living expenses to help us stay afloat during this traumatic chapter.

I’m holding on to hope and faith. I truly believe that with the help of our community and the grace of God, Remi will overcome this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love, prayers, and support.

With gratitude,

Josephine Holmes
