Story
Shayla, 12 Y/O, Miami Children Hospital
Shayla was diagnosed with Leukemia April of 2011. Her single mother had to stop working due to the daughter’s health. Shayla’s treatment has increased her appetite and the family is struggling to keep food on the table. Mother had to put a stop on her own treatment for Hepatitis C that she contracted 20 years ago from a blood transfusion because she could not afford the cost. She is struggling financially, emotionally and health wise. JJCCF provided assistance for this family in June of 2011 to pay for rent, car repairs and car insurance.
Needs
For the next couple of months while Shayla is undergoing intense chemotherapy, her family will need assistance with their rent, utilities and their phone.
