Buckets of sunshine for Annabelle

Thank you for your interest in Annabelle’s journey. After waiting what felt like an eternity for biopsy results, our family was devastated to hear that little Annabelle has Cancer. This all began months ago and started with a small mark on Anna’s arm; several doctor appointments later, being sent home with ointments for “rash, Momma-bear questioning doctors to take this more seriously; finally a Dermatologist got involved and initially diagnosed her with Spitzoid Melanoma. After the biopsy was complete we learned that the Melanoma has spread to lymph nodes. She is awaiting a PET scan to determine if the Cancer has spead to any other organs. The treatment they will give Anna will depend on the results of her scan. Unfortunately, there have been other family hardships that unraveled just prior to her diagnosis, one being that her father was laid off from work and Charity, her Momma having health battles of her own. Feeding a large family, gas to appointment after appointment and many other stressors are weighing down heavily on my beautiful cousin and her immediate family. Little Anna is a FIGHTER, she is feisty, brilliant, hilarious and so loving. This is not her first fight NOR WILL IT BE HER LAST!! As a family we would like to come together and ask our communities to help financially during this impossible time. Money will not cure Anna’s cancer but it will help to relinquish some stress while Anna, her mom, dad, sister and brothers, including her twin Asher,

all fight together to help Annabelle heal. Anna is a bucket full of sunshine and although some days may get dark, the sunshine will return to brighten all our days! Thank you for reading.
