Help a mother of a pediatric cancer survivor

Donation protected

In August of 2018, My 2 year old daughter was diagnosed with brain cancer. My whole world stopped for 3 days until the Orange sized tumor was removed. I was blessed....and still am. The diagnosis was Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor (ATRT). Only 30 kids in America get this diagnosis each year and treatment for any pediatric cancer is supremely underfunded (the National Cancer Society only gives 4% of funding to ALL pediatric cancer). I want to raise money for this awareness in a car wrap later but I need help for myself first in order to better her life.

When I gave birth to Mackenzie, I was (and still am) a over the road driver in a pilot car for oversized loads. In order to make money, I must sacrifice my precious time with her. It’s heartbreaking. Mackenzie starts school this August and I don’t want her in a school where God can’t be so private school is my only option. After her being cooped up for 2 years from cancer then Covid, she needs to socialize so home school is a last option. As far as my career, I have another business plan in progress as long as the funding comes through that I anticipate. Thats in Gods Hands. 


Currently lack of work from Covid has not allowed me to earn the funds I need to make this business opportunity possible. Mackenzie has pending scholarships in Florida for private school. We just signed a lease for a property in Florida to pursue the private school dream and business opportunities. But it is imperative I finish off this dental work. Nobody will take me seriously with my teeth looking the way they do and it is seriously painful. These donations will help allow me to recuperate from the dental surgery also and prevent me from immediately going back to work 


Anyone that knows Mackenzie, knows she deserves the best. Will you help better her life?
