I’ve been trying to figure out what to say because there really just aren’t words for what this sweet family is going through right now. 😭❤️
My friend Candice’s husband, Michael, was recently diagnosed with leukemia, and in what feels like the blink of an eye, their entire lives have been completely turned upside down.
They have two young kiddos that Candice stays home with, and now on top of being mama and taking care of their babies, she’s also trying to be there for Michael and take care of him while he fights this battle and goes through some really aggressive treatments.
And as if all of that isn’t already more than enough for one family to handle, they recently moved here away from their family, friends, and basically their entire support system. They’re trying to navigate something absolutely terrifying while being hundreds of miles away from so many of the people they would normally lean on.
I genuinely cannot imagine being in their shoes. One day you’re just living your normal life, raising your babies and making plans for your future, and the next you’re hearing words that completely change everything.
Right now, Candice shouldn’t have to worry about anything other than being there for her husband, taking care of their babies, and getting their family through this. Bills, groceries, meals, travel, and all of the other everyday expenses don’t just stop when something like this happens, though.
A GoFundMe has been created for their family, and I would absolutely love if we could rally around them and take even ONE thing off of their plate right now. ❤️
If you’re able to donate, even $5 or $10 adds up and means more than you know. And if you aren’t in a position to donate, please please share this. It costs absolutely nothing to share, and you never know who it may reach.
Nobody should ever have to go through something like this, especially while raising two little ones and being so far away from the people they love.
Candice, Michael, and those sweet babies deserve to feel an entire community standing behind them right now.
Please keep Michael in your prayers as he fights like hell to beat this. 🎗️❤️ And please keep Candice and their babies in your prayers too, because I know this is a battle their entire family is fighting right alongside him.
