Help Samantha Blais Fight Cancer

Donation protected

My sister in law has a rare type of cancer/disease called Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis. She was diagnosed as a teenager her medical treatment injections she needs isn't covered under insurance. She has a babygirl Layla who needs her mom and dad. My brother takes care of his family but the treatment alone with travel and all will take alot. Not only are we asking for help with this we are also asking for prayers. I think about my niece and growing up having her mom and dad there when she graduates high school and college gets married and that  Samantha will be there to see her own grand children grow up. So young sick and with a child herself to take care of it weighs hard on my brother.  Asking for help and also for everyone to share and raise awareness for this.  So Samantha can get the treatment she needs.

From Samm herself:  Hello to my friends and family. My darling Stephanie Bankston put together my very own gofundme because I couldn't bring myself to. Now that the cats out of the bag.. let me explain. I was diagnosed with pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH) also known known as granuloma x. The disease / cancer is VERY rare. You can't read much about it. I've seen many doctors/ specialist. 5 years later and I still have very few answers. It has taking me a very long time to get where I am now. What I do know is my illness is TERMINAL. It is attacking my bones and lungs aggressively. It can eventually attack all organs. But I am not giving up! I have a beautiful little girl to fight for now! I begun chemotherapy 4 months ago. There is not a lot of hope that chemo will kill this. But I have a awesome oncologist at @Mofit cancer center in Tampa doing everything he can! There is a lot of Research being done. We also have a plan b an injection that is suppose to supress the cells from spreading sending me into remission for at least a couple more years. Unfortunately my insurance won't cover these things.. and let's just say this treatment is so far out of my price range it ain't even funny. With not being able to work and all the medical bills coming in I'd be lying if I said were not struggling... my amazing boyfriend and father to my angel is doing the best he can but we're both under a lot of pressure. We need help any and every penny, prayer and share is needed. To me this fundraiser is not only for help but for AWARENESS also. I have been donating myself to research along this journey in hopes to find a cure! So please if you can find it in your heart to share this. Not only to help my family but to educate people and raise awareness! Love- sam, Jake and baby Layla
