Help support Taaliyah’s Pediatric Cancer Journey
Donation protected
We're rallying around Colleen Miller and her daughter Taaliyah Bassett during this incredibly challenging time. Taaliyah's brave fight against a rare and aggressive form of childhood melanoma has been marked by a devastating twist: a three-year misdiagnosis allowed the cancer to spread, and she's now terminal. Amidst this heartbreaking reality, Taaliyah also lives with high-functioning autism, adding another layer of complexity to her journey.
As Taaliyah battles for her life, her mother Colleen faces unimaginable stress as a single parent caring for both Taaliyah and her five-year-old sister. Colleen's own strength and resilience are tested daily as she navigates the complexities of her daughter's care while running her small business, QC Queen of Clean.
Tragically, Colleen's situation worsened when a local tax business owner she trusted stole over $11,000 from her. This betrayal occurred while Colleen was already preoccupied with Taaliyah's treatment at St. Jude's, and the financial blow has compounded her stress. Colleen had hired this individual to alleviate some of her workload, only to discover they'd been deceived.
This GoFundMe aims to support Colleen and Taaliyah during this dual fight—against Taaliyah's cancer and the aftermath of the theft. Your contribution can help ease some of the financial burdens and allow Colleen to focus on what matters most: being there for her daughters. Let's come together to uplift this family in their time of need. ~Colleen’s direct Venmo is @Queen_Colleen & her Cash App is $QueenColleen89.
