Lee-Ann’s Story of Strength and Faith

Lee-Ann is fighting for her life and you could be her only hope. It all started when she experienced drastic weight loss, prompting her to visit a local doctor. Concerned about her health, she was referred to a hospital, where doctors ran several tests but couldn't determine the cause of her symptoms.

The following day, she was transferred to another hospital, where further tests were conducted. There, doctors suspected cancer but weren’t sure of the exact type. It wasn’t until she was moved to yet another hospital that she finally received a confirmed diagnosis of leukaemia.

Accepting the reality of cancer was incredibly difficult for Lee-Ann. Her family was devastated, especially her grandmother, while her parents tried to stay strong for her.

Before her diagnosis, Lee-Ann loved to sing and was actively involved in her church choir. However, life has changed drastically. She no longer sings as often and spends most of her time in the hospital. The hardest part? Being away from her daughter.

"My little girl recently started Grade 1, and I couldn’t attend her first day of school. That broke my heart." Despite the challenges, Lee-Ann remains hopeful.
