In April 2026, I received the life-altering diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma. Since then, I've been navigating the relentless journey of chemotherapy. My oncologist recently shared some encouraging news and suggested that a Bone Marrow Transplant at M.D. Anderson in Houston could be the next pivotal step in my recovery. I feel hopeful but also face a significant hurdle. Undertaking this transplant means a month-long leave without pay, leaving me worried about covering my rent and expenses in both Baton Rouge and Houston during this crucial time.
The idea of postponing this treatment due to financial constraints is daunting. If delayed until next year, I’d face a hefty $9,000 insurance deductible, and my doctor cautions that waiting too long could risk the viability of the stem cells needed for the transplant. This is why I'm reaching out to you—my cherished friends and family—for support. Your help would mean the world to me, enabling timely treatment and offering a real chance towards recovery. Thank you for considering being part of my journey.
