Friends of Chloe: Assisting with Health Needs

I'm a friend of Mary Tull, mother to Chloe, a 3rd-grade student at my school. I'm also Chloe's school principal and friend. Most importantly, I'm a believer in miracles and in Chloe, a miracle herself.

From Chloe's sweet mom, Mary:

"Chloe Asha Tull came into this world in a large kiddie pool made for home births. What a perfect setting for a girl that swims like a fish! Chloe Asha's name means blooming hope; she has been a blessing to her family and community in a world that desperately needs just that.

As you know, this world can be cruel as we navigate through it to learn our lessons before returning to the dust and meeting our maker. Chloe’s world started to fade away in 2021 quickly, and by Christmas, I knew something was wrong with my daughter. In August, she fell down the stairs and said her heart hurt after that. So I took her to Primary Children's to have her checked out. They did all kinds of tests and scans and couldn't find anything wrong with her. For the following four months, she started to have what I thought were growing pains at night; after all, she was getting taller.

We were on Thanksgiving vacation on a rare trip to Texas to visit her grandparents and cousins when she caught a cold and became anemic. We hurried home to Utah, and she recovered from the cold, but it got worse no matter what we did to help with her anemia. By December 31st, Chloe was so sick with the stomach flu that she couldn't hold anything down. After taking her to the ER at the local hospital. They quickly transported her to Primary Children's, and we spent 2022 New Year’s Eve there, praying and helping Chloe fight for her life. They had to do several blood and platelet transfusions and started running tests to figure out precisely what was happening.

The news of your child being diagnosed with ALL - Leukemia hits you like a ton of bricks. It is tough when you realize they must poison your child with chemotherapy for 2+ years to help save her life. That's when her struggle to survive got real for everyone because it turned out to be a full-time caregiving endeavor that took everything."

Friends of Chloe -- this fundraiser -- is attempting to raise funds to pay for Chloe's constant medical needs as she fights leukemia. While her chemotherapy and treatment continue, her body becomes depleted, and she requires additional infusions of healing nutrients to offset the cancer-fighting regimens. Additionally, medical insurance will not cover this blood test that Mary and the medical staff believe will help with Chloe's treatment plan: RGCC Cancer Test | Circulating Cancer Stem Cells Greek Test. We hope to raise enough money to alleviate the costs not covered by insurance and ensure Chloe has access to all medical resources for her fight and recovery. Please join us in this support effort!
