Brandii

Message from Hospital Social Worker, 6/3/13:

Brandii Williams is a child of 4 years of age who was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in April of 2012. After several cycles of chemotherapy, she went into remission from the disease and began preparations for bone marrow transplantation, which occurred in February of this year. Brandii has been hospitalized in the Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant unit at Jackson’s Holtz Children’s Hospital since January, 2013. Given her prolonged hospitalization, Brandii has not been receiving her full SSI disability award, which, together with other household/living expenses, has put a significant dent in the family’s finances. We are happy to say that Brandii is getting better and reaching a point where discharge home is becoming more and more a reality. Once she is discharged, however, the family will need to bring Brandii for medical appointments as frequently as two to three days per week initially, which will add to gas expenses as well as natural wear and tear of the family car. Brandii’s mother is a single parent living in Homestead. The Jessica June Children’s Cancer Foundation provided assistance to Brandii’s family last year and this certainly is very much appreciated. I appeal to this wonderful organization and to any potential donors out there to consider further financially assisting Brandii’s family in any way possible.

Thank you so much for all you do.
