Please know that I am having to sell my personal collection because my 9 year old daughter has been diagnosed with Pediatric CML Leukemia.
Pediatric CML Leukemia is the rarest form of Leukemia. There hasn’t been a Pediatric CML case in Greenville SC in over 10 years.
CML cases are 12% of all Leukemia for the U.S.. Pediatric cases are 1/2% of all Leukemia cases within the U.S..
Her medication, Disatinib is ,500 a month.
She is a fun, bright, loving, Christian girl. She deserves a full life.
If you cannot help, we have a Go fund me page. If you can share it, it would help her out a ton. Message me and I will send you a link to the GFM page.
Thank you.
