Support Anika's Fight Against Heart Failure
Donation protected
Hello, our names are Rochelle and Kendall, and I’m reaching out during one of the hardest times in our family’s life. Our daughter, Anika, is currently in the hospital battling heart failure. She has been there since 9/15/24, and while the doctors are doing everything they can, her journey to recovery has been and will continue to be long and challenging.
Anika is a bright, brave 4 year-old with so much life ahead of her. Before this, she loved going to preschool, going to dance class, listening to music, “playing” video games with her brother, loving on her puppy, and cuddling with her mommy and daddy. But now, her days are filled with medical treatments, tests, and uncertainty. Watching her go through this ordeal is heart-wrenching, but as parents, we are committed to being by her side every step of the way.
However, the financial burden has been overwhelming. Both Kendall and I have had to take extended leave from work without pay, and the costs are mounting fast. Traveling to and from the hospital, covering our living expenses, and trying to manage everyday needs like food, gas, and bills have put us in a position where we urgently need help.
Being away from work means we have no income to support our family during this critical time. With each day that passes, the costs of staying with our daughter in the hospital grow heavier. We are asking for your support to help us cover the essential expenses for her and for us as well as our lost wages so we can remain by Anika’s side during this very uncertain time without the added stress of financial hardship.
Your generosity—whether it’s a donation or simply sharing our story—will help us focus on what truly matters: being there for our daughter as she fights for her life. Every bit of help, no matter how small, makes a difference.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, love, and prayers during this unimaginable time.
Sincerely,
Rochelle, Kendall, Tyler, and Anika
