Malaina Hansen Medical Support

Donation protected


My niece Malaina was first diagnosed with cancer when she was 7 years old.  She fought the cancer, endured chemotherapy, radiation and  a bone marrow transplant that saved her life. She is now 23 and cancer free. There have been complications from the treatments over the years. She went into the hospital 3 weeks ago to have esophageal reconstruction surgery.  She survived the surgery and was admitted to the ICU in Butterworth.  Since then she has had 2 additional emergency surgeries to repair the incisions and remove infected tissue. These three surgeries have left her on a ventilator and again fighting for her life.  She has been transfered to U of M hospital where the doctors are very hopeful they can repair another tear in her esophagus. She is schedule for another surgery on Tuesday 9/13/16.   With Malaina being in Ann Arbor her family has had to endure additional costs that are not covered by insurance.  I am asking for help in covering the costs of hotel, food and gas for her parents and siblings.  My sister in law, Beth, has not left her side in 3 weeks which means no paycheck.  Please consider helping them financially, every little bit helps.  Please keep the prayers coming.  The power of our God is awesome and I beleive he will heal this sweet child again.
