Rally Behind Emma’s Leukemia Relapse Journey

Donation protected
Hello everyone,

We are reaching out to you with a heavy heart. Our beloved Emma has been bravely battling High Risk B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia for the past year and a half. Despite undergoing intense treatments and facing numerous complications, she has shown incredible strength, resilience, and an unwavering positive spirit. Today, we humbly ask for your support as we embark on a new phase of her journey, filled with hope and possibilities.

Emma's Journey:
Emma's fight against leukemia has been a rollercoaster ride, but she has never let it define her. She has already overcome significant hurdles, including blood clots (pulmonary embolism) and the debilitating effects of chemotherapy. Despite these challenges, Emma has managed to achieve remarkable milestones. This year, she even had the courage to resume college and completed two semesters with an impressive 3.5 GPA.

The Road Ahead:
Unfortunately, Emma's leukemia has relapsed, and the doctors have recommended a series of crucial treatments to give her the best chance of overcoming this disease once and for all. The treatment plan involves a possible bone marrow transplant, re-induction of intense chemotherapy, and the potential use of Car-T therapy, a cutting-edge immunotherapy. Additionally, due to the treatments' potential effects on her fertility, we are exploring options to preserve her ability to have children in the future.

Why We Need Your Help:
While our primary focus is Emma's well-being, the financial burden of her medical expenses has been quite overwhelming. The cost of treatment, hospital stays, medications, and additional procedures is incredibly high. This is why we are turning to the kindness and generosity of others to help us navigate this challenging road ahead.

How Your Support Will Make a Difference:
Your contribution, regardless of its size, will make a tangible difference in Emma's life. It will assist us in covering medical expenses, providing access to potentially life-saving treatments, and ensuring Emma's comfort and well-being throughout her recovery. Our family is doing everything within our power to provide Emma with the best possible care, but the medical expenses continue to rise. In addition to the costs of treatments, we must also consider expenses for travel, accommodations, and post-treatment care. Your support will also contribute to fertility preservation options, granting Emma the opportunity to fulfill her dreams of starting a family in the future.

Emma's Spirit and Passion:
Despite the hardships she has faced, Emma's zest for life has never wavered. She possesses a deep passion for baking and the outdoors, particularly snowboarding. Even during her treatments, she found the strength to pursue her passion, pushing through a fractured shoulder to hit the slopes. Emma's resilience and positive attitude have served as an inspiration to everyone who knows her.

Join Us in Making a Difference:
Emma's journey is not one she can walk alone. We kindly ask for your support and prayers as she faces this uphill battle once again. Your contribution, whether through a donation or by sharing her story, will provide hope and strength to Emma and our entire family.

Please consider donating to Emma's GoFundMe campaign. Together, we can help her fight this relapsed leukemia, reclaim her life, and pave the way for a brighter and healthier future.

On behalf of Emma and our family, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your support, prayers, and acts of kindness during this challenging time. Your generosity will forever be etched in our hearts.
