Support Tonya’s Transplant Journey

Tonya, a devoted mother, grandmother, and aunt, has spent her life caring for others. She has worked at a small private practice for 34 years and a pediatrician’s office before that. Her love for family is unyielding. Spending time reading, trips to the mountains, and visiting a petting zoo are a few of her favorite things. Seven years ago, Tonya bravely battled lung cancer with a lobectomy and chemotherapy, remaining cancer-free until last year. Unfortunately, she developed Multidysplastic Syndrome due to her previous treatments, and her only option was a bone marrow transplant. The transplant took place in Augusta, GA, requiring a three-month stay, including 44 days as an inpatient and two months for follow-up appointments. Complications arose post-transplant, leading to an extended ICU stay and acute kidney injury, necessitating dialysis three times a week. The financial burden is overwhelming, with medical expenses, lodging, travel, and missed work adding up. Tonya’s family is rallying to support her during this difficult time, seeking help to cover these substantial costs. Your support will help alleviate the financial stress and allow Tonya to focus on her recovery and spending precious time with her loved ones.
