Rae is my Mama's long-time, good friend Joan's great granddaughter. Joan is very good to me and this is the least I can do to help her granddaughter.
Please, if possible, make a donation to the fund. Any amount will be appreciated and all the funds will be used for Rae's care and education. Thank you in advance for your kindness.
Raevyn (Rae) is not my blood but she is my family by any and all accounts.
Her mother has been in my life since she was a toddler and I love her as much as anyone can love another human being.
Rae's mom, my niece, is a single parent and has been recently diagnosed with avery aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and has been enduring chemotherapy as frequently as every other week. The chemo is being delivered via a port that was surgically implanted in her head to access the tumor that is wrapped around the sacrum (lower spinal column) which infiltrated the central nervous system and cancerous cells have been found in her brain. There is another port surgically implanted into her chest to deliver the chemo to the rest of her blood stream to hopefully destroy the other masses the size of oranges within her pelvis.
If anyone has seen the effects of chemotherapy on a person, you know its not possible to take care of yourself let alone a toddler who requires constant care.
My niece is unable to work and therefore has no money to pay for daycare for Rae.
The money would go directly to the facility and any excess would go into a college fund for Rae to be used to further her opportunities later in life and give her a platform to tell the story that is incredibly and uniquely, Rae.
Thank you for reading and please know that anything you are willing to contribute is a huge help and graciously accepted.
