Help Courtney find a bone marrow match!
Donation protected
My sister's mother, Courtney, has been battling a rare form of Leukemia for over a year, having undergone multiple rounds of chemotherapy, which have not proven to work. During this time, she found out she was pregnant with my beautiful baby sister, Kaylee. Unfortunately, because chemo did not help the way it needed to, the only form of action Courtney has left is to undergo a bone marrow transplant. She will need to be away from her baby and be in the hospital for many weeks, hopefully, recovering and beating cancer with the support of her family and friends. At this time, Courtney is looking for a match to be her donor. Her family is willing to donate bone marrow if they are a match, but the testing to find out if this is possible, is costly. The best chance she has is matching with a family member or she could be on a waiting list for years looking for a random match. Insurance will not cover the cost of the tests (each one is $195) and I am hoping to raise enough money to get as many people tested, and hope someone is a match for my sister's mother. I want my sister's mother to be around for my father and my sister for as long as possible, so if anyone could please consider donating, it would mean the world to my family.
