Hi friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers, meet Marilyn Rose, a beautiful, bright-eyed, 19-month-old baby girl with the sweetest spirit. This past weekend, Marilyn’s world changed forever when she was diagnosed with T-cell Leukemia, a rare and aggressive form of cancer. 
 
Her mommy, Noel, knew something was wrong. Despite being brushed off by a local doctor who insisted Marilyn was “fine,” Noel refused to give up. Crying and pleading, while still being dismissed, she trusted her mother’s intuition and took Marilyn to Children’s Hospital in Springdale, Arkansas. That decision saved Marilyn's life. 
 
Within minutes, Marilyn was life-flighted to Little Rock, where she received four blood transfusions, had a PICC line placed, underwent a spinal tap, began two rounds of chemotherapy, and endured radiation treatment, all within her first 48 hours in the fight for her life. 
 
Now, doctors are testing to see if the cancer has spread to her brain and spine. 
 
The road ahead is long and uncertain, but this tiny warrior is already showing incredible strength. 
 
Noel and Brandon, Marilyn’s parents, have other children at home and are doing everything they can to keep their family together during this nightmare. But as you can imagine, cancer doesn’t just devastate emotionally, it brings financial hardship too. From rent and utilities to food, gas, and medical bills, the burdens are piling up. 
 
They need help. They need hope. And most of all, they need to be by Marilyn’s side without having to worry about how they'll keep the lights on back home. 
 
If you’ve ever loved a child… if you’ve ever watched someone fight for their life… if you believe in the power of a mother’s love and a community coming together, please consider donating. 
 
Every dollar helps. Every share matters. Every prayer is felt. 
 
Please keep sweet Marilyn Rose in your prayers. And thank God Noel listened to her heart because it gave Marilyn a chance to fight. 
 
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you ♡
