Unfortunately, on October 28th, 2025, I’llenah was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, a rare head and neck cancer, which made the world come crashing to my feet. Illenah is only 17 years old; she has so much life ahead of her. It’s just coming with a journey that we know God will walk with us through. We live in lansing, but all of our medical care is in Ann Arbor and Royal Oak . All the lodging and different transitions we have to deal with right now is unthinkable . We need any and all the support and prayers we can get at this time. Due to me not being able to work full-time because of treatments and doctor's appointments, I'm not able to bring in the income that I once was. Financially, we need a breakthrough so I can maintain bills and any medical needs that this storm has created. We love and appreciate you all and continue to pray while we continue to fight!

Hello, my name is Kassie. I’m Illenah's AuntMom. After her mother’s passing in 2020, I knew I had a sole purpose in this world by taking guardianship and raising Illenah to be one of my own. Thanks you for all your time and consideration. God bless ❤️
