Support for Laura's MDS Battle
Donation protected
As I write this my Daughter Laura’s life hangs in the balance. She has a debilitating disease known as MDS (Myelodysplastic syndromes) described on the MDS Foundation website as “an often unrecognized, under-diagnosed rare group of bone marrow failure disorders, where the body no longer makes enough healthy, normal blood cells. The disease is also known as a form of blood cancer.” There are no words I can use that can describe the levels of both physical and emotional pain both she and her family have gone and continue to go through because of this disease. At this point we ask for the help of our friends and family. Unfortunately, neither she nor her immediate family will be able to afford the medical bills left beyond what her medical insurance will cover. Any donation you can give no matter how little would be greatly appreciated.
Laura is a beautiful, intellectual soul, who lives in a world of books that take her on fantastical journeys full of whimsy, magic and occasionally romance. That is where she finds joy and can experience adventures she couldn’t in reality. When her nose isn’t in a book you can find her cuddling up with her right-hand man Archer, our 8-year-old cockapoo. Her signature endearing cackle can be heard from rooms away and will encourage you to laugh alongside. Laura is the first person to help when you need it, she will undoubtedly give you flack when deserved, but will stand by your side regardless. She belongs in the Marvel universe because she is a true snarky, sweet and fierce superhero. Your movie isn’t over.
Thank you so much!
