  • Edna Smith's Fight with Leukemia

    Once again, we want to Thank You for your generous donations, support and prayers. This has meant so much to Edna during this difficult time.
    I also wantto share with you Edna's progress with her fight with Leukemia. She is now past a critical 60 day marker after her Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) and building strength everyday. We are so proud of her determination and positive outlook. The doctors feel that she has made significant progress. She is still feels tired but makes her journey twice a week to the BMT center to check her progress in the fight. Her expenses as you would guess continue to accumulate with all of the medical procedures required weekly. We would appreciate if you can engage others with Edna's Fight with Leukemia.

About this fundraiser

Edna Smith:  Together We Can Fight Leukemia

Edna is one of those special people who has given all her life to those in need and put her interests second after family, friends and her community.  Edna is the first one to show up when you need her and to contribute whatever she can if you need her. She is an independent and resourceful entrepreneur who, even when spread thin, has provided for the needs of her family and so many others.  

Unfortunately, she has experienced a devastating turn in her life.  Edna was diagnosed with Leukemia and is gearing up for the fight of her life. She will be undergoing a potentially life saving bone marrow transplant. The medical expenses over these past months have been mounting with tests, medications and the upcoming expenses of surgery and a month long extended hospital stay. Edna will be in ICU for 30 days and at home for over 3 months , secluded because of the considerable risks associated with her surgery and will not be able to work during this time. 

Edna’s Friends and Family are working to raise $32,400 to help her offset some of these expenses and allow her to recover with peace of mind during this important time for healing. 

 We appreciate anything you can give to assist us in this effort and ask that you keep her in your prayers!  .
