Donation protected
This is for my 8 year old grandson (just turned 8 Jan 4th) Steve Austin....he wasn't feeling well...stomach pain, back pain, legs hurt....he ended up having an emergency appendectomy...through the bloodwork and subsequent testing, because he wasn't getting better, but worse...the doctors at Childrens Medical Center for Cancer and blood disorders in Jackson, Mississippi, discovered my sweet Steve has B Cell Leukemia and EBV....he had his first chemo treatment last Wednesday, Feb 26th, along with a Spinal Tap.....his mom, my daughter, Lawren Andes Miller, is a single mom, has a 6 year old son also....she hasn't been able to work, she was making the 3 hour trip one way back and forth to the hospital....at this point they've been there getting treatment for 10 days....there is no money coming in while she's unable to work and the doctors have told her there's a long road ahead, making the trip to the hospital once a week for chemo and that there will be many, many trips to the hospital emergency room....over the two to three years they believe this healing process will take.....the family is devastated, stressed and scared.....she has a 24 year old car with over 200,000 miles, that won't be able to make that hospital trip weekly, I've been helping out as much as I've been able but I have health issues myself and limited on income.....my daughter is going to need a good, dependable, used car and monetary assistance while she tries to handle getting her Steve back to good health and kick Cancers butt!!!!!! He went from being a happy, active, very smart little boy, to suddenly he has cancer, he's lost weight, he's pale and in pain...saying his legs and spine hurt so bad....and hasn't been able to go to school in many weeks..if you could find it in your hearts to help Steve and his mom Lawren.....we would be most grateful and may the good Lord Bless you and keep you......and I thank you from the bottom of my triple bypassed heart!!!!! Hes my grand baby!!!! I also want to send thanks to Ada Ellis for taking care of Billy while Lawrens been in the hospital with Stevie
