Story
Angela, 17 Y/O, Palms West Hospital
Angela was a happy healthy teenager until she was surprisingly diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in March of 2013. Since then life for her and her family has become dramatically more challenging. Angela immediately was removed from school and began rigorous chemotherapy and radiation treatment that eventually eliminated a large tumor on the left side of her neck. The family, emotionally exhausted, was relieved that their daughter was saved and their nightmare with cancer was over. Unfortunately, weeks later another tumor was discovered on the right side of Angela’ neck and soon after her father was laid off from his farming job and lost their health insurance. The family has been emotionally and financially devastated but yet they remain strong in supporting each other to survive this crisis.
Needs
