Story
Carmen, 13-years-old,The Children’s Hospital at Palms West
Going through chemo treatments for her Leukemia has certainly been life-changing for 13-year-old Carmen, but then she suffered a stroke and now she also needs intense physical therapy to regain her strength. With her elderly father on disability, Carmen’s mother is solely responsible for driving her daughter to the hospital 3-5 days per week for chemotherapy and physical therapy, close to 300 miles per week. This makes it impossible for Carmen’s mother to work at this time.
Needs
Carmen’s parents need assistance with monthly utility bills and the costs associated with traveling 180-300 miles each week for Carmen’s chemo treatments and physical therapy.
