One Warrior, Two Battles (The journey of Savannah Clarke,14)

Donation protected
Savannah was perfectly healthy until November of 2019.

When Savannah was rushed to McMaster Children's Hospital she ended up being diagnosed with such a rare illness that only 70 cases have ever been documented world wide. (Febrile Ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann). After suffering with sever ulcered lesions, lung damage, and much more, Savannah was put into a medically induced coma for many weeks. Since then permanent lung damage has not held Savannah back from cheerleading nor her education.

Savannah and her mother Kalandra were advised the disease would never return..
With extreme sorrow and 5 years to date, Savannah has been readmitted at SickKids Hospital with the same symptoms. "Like a repeat nightmare." Kalandra shared with me.

Being that Kalandra is a well respected colleague of many, the single income provider for herself as well as her 2 children, a public servant with a passion for community service, it is my goal to alleviate the financial strains this has caused. Savannahs father, Michael, is travelling every night to and from London to see her as well. Kalandra asked that I mention she is currently on the wait list for Ronald McDonald house. However, I know we cannot rely on this.

Here are my hopes and financial goals with this fundraiser:
  • Supplement sole family income; Kalandra is the sole and single income provider for herself and her 2 children.
  • Ambulance Bills; Already accumulated and any future medical travel costs.
  • Hotel Stays; Due to the nature of this illness, Kalandra needs to stay close by. Hotel costs in this area are very expensive.
  • Gas & Transportation; Travelling to/from hospital, etc.
  • Additional out of pocket pharmaceutical costs for Savannah.
  • Meals/toiletries/etc.

There is of course never any pressure to donate. We know it is truly a difficult time for many. If you would like to help and cannot donate, I ask that you please share this with others.

Thank you kindly for your time and empathy. Thoughts, prayers, positive vibrations are always welcomed and appreciated!
