Hello all,

I am the mother of Zendrayah, better known as ZenZen. When I tell y’all I never thought God would give me kids due to a cyst that has been on my left ovary for years, God said otherwise and gave me two beautiful twin girls. One being born with sickle cell anemia! Although still very beautiful… it’s been a struggle this year alone with my baby since her sickle cell has been taking a turn for the worst. I lost my first job due to her being sick in the hospital. She had 2 strokes and had to get 5+ blood transfusions, and now she has been diagnosed with acute chest syndrome. Her cells are sickled in her lungs, which makes it very hard for her to breathe. This is all very hard to watch as these are my first and only two kids, and to see that I can’t even provide the way I need to right now because my baby’s health isn’t the best and I can’t keep a steady job. I am on my last limb with my new job, and I just need a bit of help with finances to make sure I’m able to be here the way I can for her. I really am terrified to even leave her side when I have to, so I want to try and stick around her as much as I can. My baby is literally becoming depressed in this hospital to where she told the doctor she didn’t want to live anymore if she has to with sickle cell… I’m trying y’all… Dad isn’t in the picture and hasn’t been in years; it’s only me… Anything helps!!!
