Cause Description:
Brooke is a very brave 17
year old who has been
battling osteosarcoma (a
bone cancer) for the last few
years. She has been very
brave through all her
treatments.
Last week they were going
to amputate the lower part
of her body in a last effort to
save her life. The doctor
decided against the
procedure and has told her
family that Brooke odds are
not good this year. Brooke
remains brave and has made
a few requests of things she
hopes to do, and at the top
of the list is a trip to the
beach in FL with her siblings,
parents and grandparents.
There are 8 family members.
She has never seen the
beach and wants to walk and
play in the sand. Her family
has said that we should not
get her hopes up since that
is an impossible dream.
Nothing's impossible right?
Let's do what we can to help
make this happen for this
girl. We are hoping that we
can maybe get a couple of
the days on the beach as
well if we can find a hotel
that is willing to help or if
someone has a timeshare or
rental unit on the beach that
would be wonderful. We are
also hoping to help them
have a day at Busch Gardens
while they are here - so
maybe if you know of
anyone who has connections
over there -- perhaps they
might be willing to give us
free or discounted tickets for
the family.
We've got some people
working on the passenger
van to get them here from
Kentucky - and we're looking
at the last week in April or
first week of May for their
visit. Hospice has offered to
connect us with their
incredible network for the
duration of her stay to help
her manage her pain and
ensure she gets the care she
needs.
