Please help the Waterman's with medical expenses
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Beth Huff. I am a family friend of the Waterman family. If you know Brandon and Mandy, they're very private people who don't tend to rely on others for help unless they've exhausted all other avenues. They're also the first to be there for others in a time of need to help however they can. They have been quietly dealing with a parental nightmare for a better part of this year and at this time and as difficult as it is for them to ask for it, they could really use some help.
In March of this year, their son, Brendan "Bud" hadn't been feeling well and was sent to Pittsburg Children's Hospital to try to find the cause. After several weeks of in depth testing, ups and downs with Bud's health status and countless sleepless nights of worrying, Doctors diagnosed Bud with B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia. This type of cancer is truly the best case in a worst case scenario. While it's the easiest to treat and cure in children, Bud is looking at 2 years of treatments with a very positive outlook after all his treatments are finished.
There have been a few bumps along the road so far, which can happen given everything that goes along with cancer treatments. Each treatment, hospitalization and hiccup, along with necessary testing means a trip to Pittsburg (roughly a 5 hour round trip) and loss of time at work. This takes a toll quickly on finances. With Brandon operating his own electrical business and trying to make sure his families needs are met on all levels, this has been an extremley challegning time for him during an already emotionally mentally exhausting time. They have been able to hold their own with incoming medical bills, travel and other expenses thus far, but it's becoming increasingly difficult for them and they still have a long road ahead of them to help make sure their son receives the treatments and care he needs. At this time... they could really use all the help they can get.
If you are able to help, please know it's very appreciated. All donations will be used toward incoming medical bills, travel expenses and other expenses that may come up during the rest of Bud's treatments. Thank you...
