As most of you know, my mother was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (bone marrow cancer) in September 2014. She had a bone marrow transplant in February at Emory Hospital in Atlanta, and after being released from the hospital she moved in with her sister - our wonderful Angie - and her family in order to recover from the transplant.
Time is almost upon us when Mother will be moving back to Mississippi, but she still has medical bills to pay for as well as travel to pay for to get back and forth to Atlanta. So, my awesome cousin Whitney Marquis Pullen has set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for mother's medical and travel expenses. You can donate to mother's campaign here, and any amount would be greatly appreciated!
You can read more about mother's diagnosis and prognosis here, and you can read more about the type of cancer she has here and here.
God Bless!
