As many of you know, my mom, Melissa Arrington, was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in 2021. Since then, her journey has been anything but simple. Along with battling cancer, she has faced ongoing challenges finding doctors who fully understand how her treatments impact her existing heart conditions.
Over the past few years, she has been in and out of the hospital, with many of her heart complications likely linked to the treatments meant to fight her cancer. It has been a difficult road, but we are holding onto hope.
She has now been given an incredible opportunity to travel to Newnan, Georgia, to receive care at City of Hope. There, she will see a specialist who not only has experience with her specific type of leukemia but is also committed to working alongside other doctors to ensure all of her medical conditions are carefully considered in her treatment plan.
This opportunity brings us so much hope, but it also comes with financial challenges. Travel expenses, lodging, and medical costs not covered by insurance quickly add up. Because she is on Medicare, the assistance available to her is limited.
We are asking for help to ease this burden so she can focus on what matters most—her health and healing. Whether through a donation, sharing this fundraiser, or keeping her in your prayers, every bit of support means more than we can express.
Thank you for standing with our family during this time. ❤️
