Help Paige With Her Battle With Cancer

I am starting this GoFundMe for Paige, a 13-year-old middle school student who was recently blindsided with a life-changing diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Just a week ago, she began experiencing persistent headaches, leading to two doctor's visits and, eventually, a trip to the ER.

Imagine the shock and heartbreak that Paige and her family felt when they heard the prognosis from the doctor. The road ahead will be incredibly challenging, as the next six months will demand her to endure intensive inpatient chemotherapy treatments in the hospital. The toll of this battle has already become evident, with Paige losing some of her vision and enduring visible pain.

Today, Paige's mother, Stacey, who works tirelessly as a nurse herself, received news that she will need to be medivac'd to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) for the remainder of her treatment. Paige's immune system will be suppressed during this critical time, leaving her at high risk for infections, adding to the horrible side effects of the chemo.

Paige has two siblings at home who love her unconditionally and are supporting her through this difficult time. She will be missing most of her 8th grade year, unable to do the things she loves, like doing her makeup, shopping, and spending much-needed time with her friends.

Not only is Paige beautiful, but she is also funny and has the incredible ability to make us all belly laugh with her jokes. She aspires to be a pediatric nurse one day, and we are hopeful that she will get through this challenging period so she can look back on this trauma and pay it forward.
