Two of the most important people in our lives need our help. On Friday, August 1, Poppy was diagnosed with the kidney cancer, Wilms' Tumor. On August 4, she had her left kidney and large tumor that was attached to it removed. Additional testing has shown that it has spread to her lungs. While the surgery was effective in removing the majority of the tumor tissue, Poppy still has a long road ahead of her in terms of treatment and recovery. She will soon be starting chemotherapy and radiation to combat the continued spread of the cancer and has a long series of hospital visits and stays over the next several months at Texas Children's Hospital as she fights this battle.

Our beloved Kat Eisenhour, or "mama" as she's known to Poppy, has been raising Poppy since she was an infant. Kat has raised Poppy as her own, balancing this amazing responsibility with her jobs and volunteering her time, energy, and money to many people in the Galveston area. She now needs our help.

A lot of expenses are coming Kat's way as she supports Poppy in her journey to kick cancer's ass. We all know that Kat doesn't like to ask for help, but now she needs and deserves it, as she has had such a significant and positive effect over 20+ years in the community and service industry.

Every penny raised will directly support Poppy's treatment and recovery costs, expenses, and financial responsibilities. Keeping in mind that Poppy does not have insurance, please help out one of our best friends and Galvestonians in the weeks and months ahead.
