Mercy's Future Fund (cancer treatment costs $$$!)

My best friend Erika's daughter, Mercy Haub, has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The irony of this statement is not lost on those who know her. Last year Mercy raised over $30,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through her Student of the Year campaign. She is a remarkable young woman by all accounts. She's an honor student, a thespian, a soccer player, a saxophone player, a loving daughter, sister and friend. This Lymphoma diagnosis seems particularly cruel. There are many costs associated with treatment for Lymphoma. The truth is health insurance doesn't cover all the costs.  For example, the treatment jeopardizes her fertility. Who wouldn't want to see Mercy as a mother some day?? Fertility treatment isn't covered by health insurance. This is just one example of costs that come with this diagnosis. Please give generously to Mercy's Future Fund. We all want to see her thrive in spite of Lymphoma!! As a close family friend, I urge to to consider giving generously. And maybe even a little more than you first think you might give. Thank you!  

Sincerely,

Ellen Hume
