Support Denise, Braxton, and Dante

Donation protected
Hello everyone ,
My name is Alaura Tatum. I started this Go Fund Me for my sister Denise Tatum, her boyfriend Dante Bongianino , and their 1 year old son Braxton.

Denise (DD) is 21. Dante is 20. They have a 1 year old son named Braxton. Dante was recently diagnosed with stage 4 osteosarcoma cancer, also know as bone cancer.  Dante has gone through several treatments of chemo for long periods to try and remove/shrink the cancer tumors. Unfortunately, the tumors were not shrinking with chemo. Therefore, he had to undergo multiple lung surgeries to remove the tumors and had to get part of his leg amputated as well. Denise is the only one working at the moment. She is working a full-time job as much as she can while also taking care of Braxton and Dante. She often misses work for Dante’s doctor appointments and hospital stays in Pittsburgh.  Dante is unable to help out with their baby Braxton because he is now disabled and unable to walk unassisted. Denise is the sole financial supporter of herself, Dante, and Braxton. Anybody who knows Dd knows that she is a very hardworking person. She is a wonderful mom and does everything she can to provide for her family. Dd is one of the strongest women I know and always puts others first.

This Go Fund Me will help Dd ease the financial burden that they are going through during this tough time. That includes : travel costs, essentials for Braxton, medical bills, living expenses and future situations. No amount is too small. Anything is greatly appreciated. Please, if you are unable to donate, say a prayer for them. Thank you.
