Stella's Bone Marrow Transplant
Donation protected
My Stella was diagnosed with a very rare genetic disease called Fanconi Anemia on August 18th. After learning this my life was turned upside down and forever changed! How could my perfect little angel have this horrific desease! She was a healthy 7 year old little girl, my only concern was her weight. She had always been small but otherwise healthy..
I was worried that she would need a bone marrow transplant after learning about FA but never expected this all to be so soon. Prepereparation for something like this is so hard. The hospital that specializes in FA is located in Cincinnati, so we'll have to be away from home for several months. Which means I'm going to have allot of extra expenses like travel,food, gas,,hotel etc..and Also what ever my insurance doesn't cover.
I am a single mom and already struggling raising my 3 kids and have to come up with money for expenses while we're away and keep up on the bills to make sure we have a home to come back to. I have no savings and I'm not going to be able to work while Stella's recovering.
I'm not the type to ask for help but during this unimaginable time I don't know where else to turn. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated. And all prayers for my baby girl are welcomed!!! You can follow her journey at https://www.facebook.com/teamstellabelle/Fanconi Anemia
FA is a rare inherited blood disorder that affects 1 in 350,000. It leads to bone marrow failure. FA prevents your bone marrow from making enough new blood cells for your body to work normally. FA can also cause your bone marrow to make faulty blood cells.This can lead to serious health problems, such as leukemia (a blood cancer). People with FA are also prone to cancer their entire life. There is no cure for FA..
