Hi! My name is Brittany Mackey and I’ve had the pleasure of being friends with Merissa for over 15 years. We love her dearly and consider her a part of our family.

Merissa has been recently diagnosed with lymphoblastic leukemia. She’s currently in Roswell receiving chemotherapy treatments. Soon she will also need a stem cell transplant, and a bone marrow transplant.

Merissa has a heart of gold. Always willing to help anyone. She is a mother to two young children, a successful barber and an amazing friend, sister, and daughter. The week she found out she had cancer she had plans to celebrate her official grand opening of her very own barber shop, “The Razor Lounge.”

We’re asking for donations to help pay for child care, medical expenses, and to help keep her business afloat.

Any amount helps and we are so grateful for all of you. We are “RISING UP FOR RISS” and together we can help her beat cancer!
