Hello, my name is Brittany. I'm a wife and mother to 3 beautiful children. Up until about a month ago things were normal. We were living life being blessed with each passing day. That is until I started feeling very off. It started with headaches and fatigue which soon turned into not being able to finish work shifts. Then it came to a point where I couldn't even stand up without having chest pains, shortness of breath and having to sit down before feeling like I was going to pass out. If you know me this was not normal. I'm always a very busy woman and can't sit still. After going to the E.R several times and being turned away I finally went in after feeling like I was going to pass out all day. Thank you God for pushing me to do so because my blood count and platelets were so low I could have died that night. After running a lot of tests I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.........something that is never prepared to hear.....CANCER. As if that wasn't enough of a pill to swallow this also meant I would be away from my family for at least a month or longer. Fast forward to now...I've been in the hospital for almost 2 weeks now and I've been through it mentally and physically already. Now the hardship of bills not stopping has really put us in a hole. I’m usually never the one to ask for help like....ever. Unfortunately, I must put that aside because with me not working for the next at least year the future is unclear. It has forced my husband to put his schooling on hold and completely take on the children and everything that life has to throw at him. It's been very overwhelming the love and support that I have received from friends and family. It truly fills my heart to know that so many people are in my corner waiting for me to come out of this nightmare. I am strong. I am a fighter. With God's grace I will beat this. I'm just asking for help in any way possible. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
