"Empower a Life: Help Syday triumph over Cancer!"

Hello everyone, I am reaching out to you all on behalf of my youngest granddaughter's mother, Syday Mangum. Syday is a single mother with a 3-year-old daughter (Skylar aka my PattyCake) and has recently taken custody of her amazing younger brother and sister to keep them out of foster care. I watch her take care of them all with the strength of Heaven by her side.

As if that wasn't enough, right before Christmas of 2023, she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma (Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which is part of the body's germ-fighting immune system, Mayo Clinic 2022). Syday has been taken out of work indefinitely for chemotherapy treatments, which are required every 15 days.

Syday has always been an incredibly hardworking and dedicated individual. She has been studying to become a nurse while also making sure that my grandbaby is taken care of. However, with her diagnosis, she is facing a tremendous financial strain. As her family, we want to do everything in our power to support her during this difficult time. That's why I am starting this GoFundMe campaign to raise $200,000.00 to help alleviate some of Syday's financial burden. This money will go towards covering her medical expenses, childcare, and basic living expenses while she is unable to work. We hope to take this pressure off of Syday so that her focus can solely be on getting better and kicking cancer’s butt! All donations will go directly to Syday into an account that she alone can access.

Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a real difference in her life and the lives of her children. Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with your friends and family. Your support means the world to us. Thank you for your time, your heart, and your consideration.

With love and gratitude,

Donna Brodie Kidd
