Ruth's Leukemia Fund
Donation protected
Following a series of life-threatening infections, Ruth was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on October 16th.
On October 21st they left their home, jobs, family and friends to board a plane for Houston, Texas. For the next year Ruth will receive care at MD Anderson Cancer Center, a world leader in leukemia treatment. Under the guidance of Dr Hagop Kantarjian, she will receive a regimen of chemotherapy in conjunction with effective new therapies including inoruzumab and blinatumomab.
Armed with ceaseless faith and compelled by revolutionary research, they are willing to lose everything in order to increase Ruth's odds of survival. Funding will help support medical expenses which fall outside the standard protocol paid for by insurance, cover housing and relocation costs for the family including little Naomi and Mama Wu, and supplement Roy’s income while he stays by Ruth’s side during the most critical phase of treatment.
Timing is crucial. A recent biopsy revealed seventy-five percent of her bone marrow is already cancerous. Ruth has been fighting for her life since she was first diagnosed with systematic lupus at age 13. But this time is different. This time she is fighting with and for her family. Ruth and Roy are facing one of the hardest challenges imaginable and they need your support. The year ahead will have many trials, including financial. Let’s show them what an army of love looks like.
