Laura has been bravely battling leukemia for the past three years, and now, at 60, she’s facing her most critical challenge yet—a bone marrow transplant scheduled for this Friday. While she’s grateful to have insurance and a matching donor, the road ahead will be tough. Laura will spend a month in the hospital and another month in a hotel near Emory, all while being unable to work for several months. Her husband, Paul, will be by her side, and together they’re preparing for a long recovery.

The financial strain is significant. Laura and Paul will need help covering rent, utilities, groceries, gas, and other daily expenses while she’s out of work. Even with insurance, the costs of treatment, travel, and living away from home add up quickly. Your support will help ease their burden so Laura can focus on healing and regaining her strength.

Laura is a joyful, hopeful person who brings laughter and light to everyone she meets. As her best friend for over 30 years, I’ve seen her fight with courage and humor, even in the hardest times. She’s looking forward to a smooth recovery and a better quality of life after so much suffering. Any help you can give will mean the world to Laura and Paul as they take on this next chapter together.
