Help Chloe’s Fight Against Leukemia

Family, friends and community it is time to rally for one of our own. On Saturday, October 21st, the Winters family (Tim, Karen, Chloe and Gavin) received the unimaginable news that Chloe, 13, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). What started out as possible strep throat, then a severe belly pain, would later turn their lives upside down for the foreseeable future.

Chloe is your typical teenage girl. She is beautiful, loving, smart, athletic, sassy, full of attitude and tough as nails. Her strong character combined with her family’s love and the love and support of each of you, will help propel her past this diagnosis and on to a healthy and successful life.

The entire Winters family will also need our love and support in order to overcome this unfortunate time in their lives. So many have already reached out asking what they can do to help, which is a credit to the Winters family and how they have positively impacted so many lives around them.

Right now it is impossible to know or understand the physical, mental, and emotional stress that this diagnosis will bring on the Winters family. There will be many sleepless nights of worry about Chloe’s health, tears of sadness and joy, and many ups and downs as Chloe courageously battles and perseveres through this unexpected chapter of her life. There will also be financial stress related to which treatments or medications will or will not be covered by insurance, to potential unpaid days of leave from work, to gas and parking expenses for trips to CHOP, and to everyday expenses that we all take for granted. One thing for certain, is that this is going to be an emotionally and financially straining journey.

This GoFundMe was set up to show our love and support for Chloe and the Winters family, and to help ease some of the emotional and financial stress. Every penny raised will go to the Winters family to help them through this most difficult time.
