This year we are coming together again to make a difference in the fight against blood cancer alongside Michael’s Minions & Linda’s Angels.
There is strength in her heart, determination in her eyes and the will to survive resides within her soul.
She is my mother.
A warrior, a champion, a fighter and a queen ❤
On a chilly February morning in 2023, our lives changed forever. My beautiful mother was diagnosed with MDS Leukemia. Just when we thought we were beginning to understand and navigate this new reality, another blow came a month later on March 24th: Breast Cancer. The weight of these diagnoses was heavy, but my mother, with her unyielding spirit, faced each day with a resilience that inspired us all.
As the months unfolded, it became clear that she would need a bone marrow stem cell transplant to have a fighting chance. On November 6, 2023, this critical procedure took place, marking a significant milestone in her arduous journey. The transplant was possible because of a selfless donor whose generosity gave my mother a second chance at life. To this incredible individual, we extend our deepest gratitude.
Throughout the past year and a half, my mother fought with a strength that only faith could provide. Her unwavering belief in the possibility of recovery, coupled with the support of those around her, carried her through the darkest of times. Her journey is a testament to the power of hope, the importance of community, and the miracles that kindness can create.
Let's stand united against blood cancers and spread awareness within our community. Your help is invaluable.
As I always say, alone we are strong but together we are stronger.
Thanking you all in advance for your donations. It is appreciated beyond words and we are forever grateful for all of your generosity.
Lots of love,
Tania Raffaele & Michael's Minions
