Help Anika's Brain Tumor Recovery
Donation protected
Hello, I am seeking your help for my daughter Anika Alexander who has been recently diagnosed with a Meningioma brain tumor and parenchymal edema (swelling of the brain). 
Anika's Neurosurgery wa s on December 11 2015 at Emory University Hospital. She is the sole provider and single mother to two teenagers ages 12 & 16. Anika is currently unable to work due to her failing health, extreme pain, and nerve damage . My daughter is in need of financial assistance to help maintain her household bills during her this next recovery process. Anika is still recovering from Cataracts surgery (Oct 27) and is partially blind with no vision in her left eye due to Macular Degeneration. She also has pins and brackets in her back from a Spinal Fusion and Lower Lumbar Discectomy. Unfortunately, she is not out of the clear and will need to undergo an additional surgery to scar tissue adhesion mid 2016.
Despite her health issues Anika continues to support her community through many philanthropic and charitable works. 
My daughter works hard to keep a positive outlook on life by remaining active in providing clothing and hygiene products to women and children in need.
Anika has also be a strong advocate women & children’s issues, blindness, and youth literacy encouraging children of all ages to read through her company Scribbles to Scribes Publishing & Youth Readership Program (5 years running) which gives away free children’s books to children in need! 
My daughter has a very giving heart never asking for anything in return except for a smile. I am raising funds to help my daughter through one of her most difficult surgeries as this is a very difficult time for our family.
From the bottom of my heart, our family, and her children we thank you in advance for your kindness, compassion, and support. You are greatly appreciated!
