Sam's Leukemia Treatments

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted individuals,

I hope this message finds you well. Today, I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart to share the story of my roommate, Sam. Recently, she received the devastating news that she has been diagnosed with leukemia. Sam is an hourly worker so with her loss of wages from being in the hospital as well as the significant costs of her treatment, the financial burden has become overwhelming for Sam and her family.

Sam has been a Waffle House short-order cook for the past ten years, with Rockstar status at her job having cooked over $3 million worth of food. She's also an artist with a deep interest in video games, and science fiction and fantasy stories. She loves animals, particularly dogs. Her hospital room is full of dinosaur and Pokemon plushies. She loves Jane Austen, watching the 90's BBC Pride and Prejudice series at least once a year (multiple times in a month). She is a loving, supportive wife to David and a caring, encouraging mother to their 11 year old daughter Emily. She's been a pillar of emotional strength through the trials of the past few years, emotional, medical, and financial. She's a supportive and giving friend, showing whatever support she can to the people close to her. Her advice is blunt and to-the-point but always given from a place of caring. She truly is a rock that can be leaned on in the either the best or worst of times. Sam is a remarkable person who has always been there for others in times of need, and we love her very very much. Now, it is our turn, as her community, to rally around her and provide the support she desperately needs as she has always and will always do for any one of us.

The cost of medical treatments, medications, hospitalization, and health insurance has become an enormous burden for Sam and her family. With her recent diagnosis of leukemia and her daughter's ongoing battle with type 1 diabetes, the financial strain has become unbearable. They are struggling to make ends meet while ensuring that both Sam and her daughter receive the care they need to fight these life-threatening conditions.

We have set up this GoFundMe campaign with the goal of raising $17,000 to help alleviate the financial stress that Sam and her family are facing. This amount will cover their immediate medical expenses, including health insurance costs, medications, doctor visits, and specialized treatments as well as her loss of income which their family desperately needs.

Your support can make a world of difference in Sam’s life and the life of her family. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will contribute to their well-being and give them hope during this difficult time.

Please join us in supporting Sam on her journey towards healing and recovery. Your contribution will not only provide financial relief, but also serve as a powerful reminder that she and her loved ones are not alone in this fight. Together, we can make a significant impact and show Sam and her family that they are surrounded by the love, compassion, and unwavering support that they have always shown us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and generosity. Please keep Sam in your thoughts as she navigates this challenging chapter in her life.
