13 Year old Kami Beth Lux from Eldorado, Texas is the daughter of Stuart and Lisa Lux. After extensive testing, Kami has been diagnosed with a rare juvenile muscle disease called Dermatomyositis. This disease has left Kami dependent upon a wheelchair due to fatigue, rashes, and muscle weakness. It has limited her ability to continue participating as a school mascot, athletic trainer, and member of the rodeo, basketball, and track teams. The dark circles under her eyes are a constant reminder of the pain that is changing her life. There are fewer than 200,000 cases in the US per year. Dermatomyositis is an inflammatory and chronic disease that can last for years or be lifelong. The completion and duration of chemotherapy treatment for Kami is unknown at this time.

Kami's parents, Stuart and Lisa Lux, also have two other young school age children at home as well. Stuart is self-employed while Lisa is a stay at home mom. Lisa has been driving to Dallas, TX weekly for Kami's 3 day chemotherapy treatments. Because there are no rooms available at the Ronald McDonald houses, Lisa and Kami stay in a hotel on Thursday night and at the hospital Friday - Sunday.

The cost of traveling, gas, meals, lodging, and other expenses are amounting to much more than the family is financially able to afford. They have NO HEALTH INSURANCE to offset any of their expenses. They have a family friend that comes to take care of the two children, so Stuart can work on the weekends while Lisa and Kami are in Dallas.

ANY DONATION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! If you are unable to give a monetary donation, please donate your time to help pray for Kami's complete healing, and for safe travels as this family faces these trials.

THANK YOU...for supporting this amazing young family in any way that you can!!!!
