My name is Kathy Peda and I am writing on behalf of Daniella's family and friends. I have known Daniella since she was a little girl and she is facing a medical crisis that requires urgent attention. She has recently been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). AML is a rare, aggressive form of blood cancer that requires immediate treatment. She is fighting this battle with immense courage and needs our support. Daniella is no longer able to work due to the side effects of her treatment and out-of-pocket costs may reach upwards of $200k.

Daniella is currently undergoing intensive chemotherapy to combat the AML. However, her best chance for a long and healthy life lies in a bone marrow transplant. Her sister is the perfect donor match, but the procedure is costly, and the associated expenses are overwhelming. Not only does she need to cover the transplant itself, but she also requires ongoing medical care, medications, and lodging near the medical facility during her treatment.

Why We Need Your Help:

Medical Expenses: The bone marrow transplant is a complex procedure that involves pre-transplant tests, the transplant itself, and post-transplant care. The costs add up quickly, and insurance doesn't cover everything. The current estimate for medical expenses is a 20% co-insurance charge, ~$200,000.

Lodging and Travel: The doctors require her to be no further away than twenty minutes from the medical facility during her post-transplant treatment. Since she currently lives outside of this radius she will need a place to stay, meals, parking, and transportation. The cost for this will be approximately $25,000

Emotional Support: Fighting cancer is not just physically draining; it takes an emotional toll as well. Your contributions ease her financial worries for medical expenses; required Seattle lodging and parking; and care for her beloved pets during this challenging time.

How You Can Make a Difference:

Daniella is not just a patient; she's a daughter, a sister, an aunt, and a friend. Let's rally together and give her the support she needs to overcome this battle. Your kindness can make a life-saving difference.

Thank you for being part of Daniella's journey. Let's come together and show her that she's not alone in this fight.

Your generosity will not go unnoticed and will be deeply appreciated.

With gratitude, Daniella's Friends and Family
