My oldest daughter is a friend of Heather, and Danielle is Heather's older sister. Heather is, so far, the only viable bone marrow donor who is compatible with her sister. While Dr.'s in Gainesville are trying to bring  Danielle's strength up to being able to accept the transplant from her sister, the expenses the family has had to endure are mounting.

My daughter, Heather, and several of their friends had a successful car wash today!  Thank you,  to anyone who stopped and generously gave to help Danielle ! 

The blog below tells a little bit about Danielle, she is only 22 years old, and she just got married last year.

    PLEASE put Danielle on your prayer list. Her situation is extremely grave.

This is part of a blog that Heather, Danielle's younger sister, wrote about her.

THE UPDATE WITH DANIELLE

 

For everyone one who wants to know the latest on Danielle's Cancer.

She is in Gainsville right now. The latest news from the doctor was not so good. It seems that Danielles cancer is very agressive and resistant to all the different types of chemos she has been given. Shes in a bad situation right now, she needs a bone marrow transplant and I AM A MATCH!!!! however her cancer has to be in remission before the transplant can be done. She has been talking to all the specialist and they seem to be in a tough spot. Since her cancer is resistant to the chemo even the extreme kind. They say that her option now is to do radiation, however the doctor told her that there is a possibility this may not work since raditation is only met for certain areas of the body for example if you have lung cancer you can radiate the lungs. Her cancer is in the Lymph nodes which runs throughout your whole body. They dont think that she is strong enough to handle that kind of treatment because radiation is very extreme on the body. The doctors have been in confrence calls with other doctors all over the country to try and figure out what is the best course of action. Danielle remains in good spirits, we all are. We remain optimistic and hopeful. We are waiting on our miracle. Danielle is in a hotel in gainsville with my mom and is doing all her testing and prep for the radiation which she will start next monday. This weekend she had nothing scheduled so Fred and I and the kids all got a hotel room to be with her Nicole and her family also got a room. Her husband Jason was of course by her side. And Vivienne was also there. We went swimming, out to eat and we talked we watched movies and munched on snacks we cried, we laughed, and we enjoyed our time together. She is my best friend... Please pray for her because she needs everyone prayers right now. Her radiation is going to be for about five weeks and since they are staying in a hotel, it is becoming very expensive with the hotel, food and medicines and their everyday needs.. so we are planning on have a yard sale and will be asking for any donations .. so if anyone would like to help please let me know.... email me, call me. ALL IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!! If you have any other question please feel free to ask..."

My heart goes out to the family, wishing the best of luck, for a speedy recovery. Hopefully the doctors can nip this in the bud so to speak. Good thing is..she is young, and a young body can endure more than an older one.
In my prayers your family is..may God Bless you all.

Twiz, thank you, Honey! Yes, that's the point she's at now. It's very, very serious.

Yes, we are going through the same thing with my father in law. At his age the family decided to stop all chemo treatments, the cancer has spread to the brain.
I hope the treatment takes, and she gets stronger every day, theres so much more life for her to live. God - Bless again and again

I love MOST people, especially children and old people, and I am especially offended when someone hurts one of them. "NEVER WRESTEL WITH PIGS, THE PIGS LIKE IT, AND YOU'LL JUST GET DIRTY!" Modified from a quote by my dear friend, jfore
