Earlier this week, my best friend Autumn received heartbreaking news — her father, Cary, has been diagnosed with leukemia. He was immediately admitted to Emory Hospital in Atlanta, where he has already begun intensive chemotherapy treatment. The goal is for him to come home in about four weeks, but his journey to recovery will be long and difficult.

This diagnosis has turned their world upside down, and sadly, it comes during an already incredibly tough time.

️ A Home in Crisis

Just three months ago, Autumn’s family discovered severe water damage/mold infestation in their kitchen. Following professional advice, they had to completely gut the kitchen, removing cabinets, countertops, appliances — everything — with hopes that their insurance would help cover the cost of rebuilding.

Unfortunately, their insurance declined coverage, leaving them with no kitchen and no funds to restore it.

Now, with Cary’s diagnosis, this has become an even more urgent situation. For him to safely return home, the kitchen must be clean, safe, and mold-free. With no sink, no stove, no dishwasher, and dangerous exposed areas, it’s currently unsafe and unsuitable for someone recovering from chemotherapy — when the immune system is at its most vulnerable.
