Casandra and Ariana are two of the most amazing women I have ever met. I’ve had the blessing of having them both in my life for almost 15 years now and seen the most amazing highs and deepest lows in both of their lives.
As of late they have been faced with one of the hardest challenges. Anthony, Cassie’s other half and a father figure to Ari, has been diagnosed with liver failure. Through this process that has been overwhelming, challenging and changing by the day the they have all kept a brave face and marched through it together.
Anthony and Cassie had a plan that Cassie would be able to stay home and not only be there 100% for Ari as she goes through her high school days, but she was also there for Anthony’s daughter Aaliyah while remote learning and the ever changing school structure still looms. Their plan, unfortunately, had Anthony as the sole breadwinner in their household. With his illness, he has no longer been able to work, with no return to work in the near future.
Cassie’s schedule has become packed full of appointments, cheer, drop off/pick up times for school for both girls as she tries to be the best parent and partner to the whole household.
The savings that they once thought was for fun and simple emergencies has now turned into a life expense fund that is no longer being replenished but just deducted.
Cassie has an amazing heart, she’s the first to help or go out of her way when someone is in need. At this time she is in need for just one less worry on her plate. Anything will help for gas to and from the hospital, groceries or just kid expenses so Ariana and Aaliyah don’t have to miss out on any activities.
