Please help my sister Desiree Bell

Donation protected
The women you see before you is Desiree' Bell. She is a sister, a friend, a mother and daughter. Desiree is one of the strongest people I know. She is caring, passionate, loving and loyal. Desiree would give a loved one her last dollar and shirt off her back if they needed it. She is a single mother of two beautiful young children. Desiree has lived with pain her whole life and has been diagnosed with several conditions including Celiac disease, copper deficiency, and Pancytopenia. Recently Desiree's doctors discovered a deletion on her chromosome 5 and 7. This means that she will eventually get Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Not long after that news her doctors discovered that she does in fact have myelodysplastic syndrome also known as, MDS. "Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) are a group of diverse bone marrow disorders in which the bone marrow does not produce enough healthy blood cells. MDS is often referred to as a “bone marrow failure disorder,” (www.mds-foundation.org). MDS looks different for everyone. In Desiree's case she has bone marrow cancer and if nothing is done she will develop AML within two years. Her case is very serious and for that reason her doctors recommend a severe round of chemotherapy followed by a Bone Marrow/Stem Cell Transplant. These procedures are very serious and can be life threatening for some. After Desiree has chemo and the transplant she will then need to stay in a clean house near the hospital until her blood count and immunity is at a safe level to return home. All of these procedures, medical treatment, housing, transportation, lack of income are reasons why she needs financial support.  In the event the worst happens the money we are seeking will be used for funeral arrangements. Throughout her medical treatment, roughly four months, Desiree will have to be 1.5 hours away from her children in Denver. Anything helps; even sharing this page to help spread the word can make a difference. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
