Dear Family and Friends,
I’m writing to let you know about a dear friend of mine, Rebekah, who needs our help. Rebekah grew up in Bucks County, Pa. and graduated from Wheelock College in Boston, Mass. In 2006, she went on to fulfill her lifelong goal of becoming an elementary school teacher in Jacksonville, Fla., but her dream was cut short. Not long after her move to Jacksonville, Rebekah was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and has been battling this disease for the last seven years, hoping for a cure.
Despite her health challenges, Rebekah was able to complete her master’s in Counseling Psychology, and has been able to volunteer and intern at several domestic violence and sexual abuse agencies; however, in the spring of 2013, Rebekah was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome - her second life-threatening diagnosis before the age of 30. Rebekah's best chance for survival is an allogenic transplant (stem cells donated by someone else who is healthy) at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance in Seattle, Wash.
Because of the extraordinary expense of stem cell transplantation, we need your help! Even with 80% coverage of health insurance, there are numerous uncovered expenses, such as: insurance deductibles and co-pays, as well as medical travel and relocation for both Rebekah and her caregivers, as she will need to remain in Seattle for up to six months recovering from the transplant.
Fundraising is vital to the overall success of Rebekah's struggle to survive.
To help with uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in Rebekah’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for 30 years. All donations are tax deductible and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please, if you can, make a donation today!
Together, we can make a difference! Help Rebekah get her second chance at life, so she can return to the Counseling Psychology field after treatment to fulfill her passion of working with children and adolescents of domestic violence and sexual abuse.
