Allow me to introduce you to our friend Lanie. Lanie is fierce, she is strong and she has a beautiful soul.
Lanie is fighting Multiple Myeloma and I would like to take a moment to share her story with you:
Our beautiful friend Lanie would do anything for her family and friends. She deserves help as she has helped so many.
Lanie was blessed with six children, Lilli, Wyatt, Mollie, Lucy (LuLu), Brady and Blehm. In 2012, months before she married her sweetheart Andy, Lanie's fourth child LuLu was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Lanie was LuLu's caregiver throughout her treatment. LuLu is now in remission. After her marriage to Andy in 2013, Lanie became pregnant. During her pregnancy she was running out of breath and not feeling well, for most of us it would sound like our pregnancy but Lanie knew she needed to share this with her doctor. While she was pregnant with twins, she was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. Lanie has been receiving treatments since that moment.

In July 2018, Lanie's first born passed away after living 22 years with Retts Syndrome. Lanie took Lilli's passing as a sign to seek treatment options out of Michigan as Lanie was Lilli's caregiver and she had to stay in the state to be able to care for Lilli. Lanie traveled most recently to Texas for over a month and she is at the University of Michigan several times a week now that she is home. The cancer has attacked Lanie's bones, she has had fractures from a car ride or a firm hug. These have been so painful for her. Her central nervous system is being attacked as well but she is still fighting. While most of us would say to ourselves "how does someone handle that much"? Lanie has been powering through it all.
We need your help. This family had endured so much emotionally and financially. We are asking that you give whatever you are able to help this family in need with monthly expenses during the holidays. Let's meet this goal so they can enjoy their Christmas with Lanie.

Thank you.
Lanie's Family and Friends
