My Story

3 Aug 2024

"Baby Lana" is 1 year old. She has Down's syndrome and was diagnosed with leukemia in mid-June 2024. She has already gotten a port and begun the first of 6 rounds of Chemotherapy. The chemotherapy for this type of leukemia is 90% successful, but she will need a lot of love, support and prayers.

Please support me and Baby Lana by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will make big changes in little lives.

Thank you.
