Pennies for Penny - Help Penelope fight Leukemia
Donation protected
Penelope started battling what we thought was a cold starting in August 2019. After several wrong diagnosis and many doctors appointments we found out Penelope has cancer.
She has t-cell leukemia and a mass in her chest that we don't know anything about until she is stable enough for a biopsy. She is just beginning her battle. Penelope's treatment is a 2 year long chemotherapy regimen.
Her dad is the sole income provider traveling on the road as a truck driver. Choosing between time with his daughter and possibly losing the house due to lost wages is a choice no one should have to make.
We are asking for help with day to day expenses so Penny can have her parents by her side as she courageously fights cancer.
Penny likes lol dolls, my Little pony and of course rainbows. She just started kindergarten and is eager to go back.
I'm sure everyone has read a lot of stories about cancer. But, nothing you read about can truly convey the nightmare of a cancer diagnosis striking your family. It is absolutely heartbreaking to watch a child go from laughing and playing to fighting cancer. Suddenly you miss so strongly the everyday little moments...being asked to tie a shoe, watching them play, hearing thier laughter.
As a family we are just trying to find ways to stay afloat both mentally and financially. Any amount will help.
