From Jeanie’s journal…
“Feb. 17th. will remain the most difficult day of my life. I drove in the pouring rain to Cedars Sinai Hospital. There by the grace of God he delivered me to this amazing place. I was so sick as I walked in the rain from a parking lot to the ER and a young volunteer rescued me and took me to a peaceful pediatric waiting room. My incredible oncologist got me into the hospital and saved my life. I had no white blood cells or platelets and my bone marrow was compromised. I have Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia. This disease, it’s curable. I was two days from leaving this earth.”
Jeanie Brandes, who had never been sick a day in her life, was in the hospital for 36 days. Although she is home now, Jeanie is undergoing intense chemotherapy treatments 5 days a week.
If you know Jeanie, you are familiar with her infectious smile and bubbly personality. I can tell you, even in the midst of this diagnosis, she is the same optimistic person who makes a friend wherever she goes.
For years, Jeanie lived her lifelong passion of singing and songwriting. with a career that blessed many who were fortunate to hear her perform. The beautiful sounds she used to sing effortlessly are now in jeopardy of being heard again. She is fatigued and her vocal chords were affected by the medications during the lengthy hospital stay.
As a vocal coach, Jeanie has touched countless lives with her God-given talent through the years. Her extended family is her students, friends and colleagues. In this journey she has already felt nurtured and loved by many of them and even strangers.
Unfortunately, Jeanie is unable to teach while battling this disease. The ongoing cost of the treatments combined with the hospital expenses is an immediate financial concern for her.
Even though Jeanie is brave and independent, she needs your help at this time. If she has invested in your life, now is the time for you to show your appreciation. Jeanie has so much more to give and life to live. If you do not know her personally, she would be grateful for any contribution.
