I set up this LFEBridge page for a family member, she has the closest thing to a daughter to me that you can get when you are non-biological. Heidi was diagnosed with a secondary cancer Acute Myeloid Leukemia in March of 2024 that she got due to the chemotherapy treatment from her first cancer diagnosis in July of 2024 she was diagnosed at that time with stage 3 triple-negative breast cancer with a BRCA1 mutation, which is a less common type of breast cancer that can be difficult to treat. She underwent chemotherapy, double mastectomy, and radiation at that time due to this type of cancer had a high likelihood of recurrence. She is now in need of a stem cell transplant to save her life, she has underwent some very intense chemotherapy which has had some bad side affects so they had to stop her chemotherapy treatment that could have put her in remission . She was told she had a 25-29% of finding a donor match for her because she is biracial and there are less donors, however people kept getting tested and miracles happened, they found not only one donor but two and one of them being her brother who is a half match. Cancer treatment and transplants are catastrophic not only on the patient emotionally and physically but financially, and any help that we as a community can give someone to ease some of that, that we ourselves would never want to go through Is something I want to give you all a chance to do. I know that the $25,000 probably will barely scratch the surface of the total amount needed but she needs to start somewhere. We can't go through the treatment for her or take any of the agony from her, or shield her children from what she's going through, we literally cannot walk in her shoes, but we can pray for them and help her and her family financially. To be told by your medical team that there is little to no hope and you have x amount of time to live and to get your affairs in order.... to the phone call of a miracle that they found a donor is overwhelming. Heidi has two children at home yet who also are going through the trauma of watching their mother struggle. I know first hand what it's like to watch your children struggle as they watch their mother suffer. It's one of the hardest struggles even above the cancer that I went through is remembering what my children went through. Thank you in advance
