HAILEY HOLDER’S THIRD BATTLE WITH STAGE IV CANCER

Hi, my name is Alyssa Swartzmiller, and I am a close family friend of the Allen's. Blake, his wife Hailey (momma Hailey) and Hailey Holder are considered practically family. Momma Hailey is my best friend and has been the best big sister I never had, so as you can imagine, her girl H2 is my whole world; I mean, how can you not love her?! If you have been following Hailey Holders' journey, you may have heard that H2 has unfortunately relapsed. Below is the most recent Facebook post on H2's journey and what her future weeks and months look like as they establish a new protocol.

"H2 UPDATE:

It is with a broken heart that I have to tell our army that Hailey Holder has relapsed again. We decided to escape this weekend to the beach just us three before we had to deal with cancer for the third time. It was so nice to breath and enjoy our girl. Coming home has been upsetting. I just wish that our precious baby wasn’t going to have to fight cancer again. I prayed that when we almost lost her in February that maybe her entire body had been beat down so much that we would get a miracle and the cancer would be gone forever. Unfortunately, that did not happen. It’s just not fair. I hate cancer and I hate that my girl has no idea. How do you tell your “healthy” and happy baby that she has to do it all over again. We are broken. Please pray for all three of us."

Cancer SUCKS, there is no way around that, but what sucks even more is having to fight this monster for 3.5 of your 4 years of living. It never ends, and we will never stop fighting. We are entering completely uncharted waters, there is only one specialist so far that will even give H2 a fighting chance, and that requires monthly travel to out-of-state clinics, a lot of flying, hotel rentals and meals. But, Blake and Momma Hailey will not stop fighting for the girl. Nothing we do can take away a millisecond of the pain and suffering H2 has gone through, and the pain and heartache Blake and Hailey have been through.

Help me show how much love we have for the girl by contributing to the ongoing financial burden, and strain Cancer puts on families. Particularly cancer as rare as H2's where there is a large amount of unknown, combined with how young and long she has been fighting.

Peace and blessings to you all; there is ALWAYS power in prayer.
