I would like to start off by thanking you all for taking the time to read this story. My name is Aliya Khan and i am a good friend of Deana's. I want to help out this family as much as i can at this heartbreaking time.
It started off like a fairytale. Deana married her high school sweetheart Bryan Hill. Together they had 3 handsome boys. Tristin, Trey, and Riley. ( Now 18,15, 13years old)
Life was great. They both participated in the kids baseball as Bryan was Coach for the team as well as President. (He had to step down due to Deana's illness.) Deana was on the PAC committee at AB Greenwell School and volunteered helping with sparks and brownies not even having any girls of her own. Any spare moments were spent together as a family.
With a blink of an eye everything changed. Deana was diagnosed July 10, 2014 with inflammatory breast cancer. She spent 9 months doing extensive chemotherapy and radiation treatments only to now find out that the battle is just too strong and they are all out of options. This month after having numerous tests, scans, and MRI's they have learned that it has now spread to her bone marrow, and the battle is just too strong to fight this dreadful MONSTER.
Deana is 40 years young and just lost her father on March 31 to Acute AML Leukemia only being diagnosed the previous month. On the day of his celebration, Deana was taken to Cowichan District Hospital due to spinal pain and was able to get a pass to join her family at this devastating time.
Bryan is employed but because of his wife's illness and caring for her and their 3 boys he has had to take many days off and what vacation time he had. He was just recently granted compassionate stress leave and had to take a huge pay cut. Expenses have added up and the last thing the family needs is financial stress.
The next couple months they will be spending as much time as they can together as a family.There are no words strong enough to express how thankful we are for your help and generosity.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
