WV people! Our girl Jessie Ofsa Woolwine has helped found an incredible organization that has taken on a huge mission to help save the lives of children facing pediatric cancer in our entire region. You all know the extremely difficult journey that her family has been on battling cancer with their precious daughter Charlotte. Despite receiving a terrifying diagnosis, Charlotte is a walking miracle today because Jessie and Kelly were able access world class facilities and medical teams at a hospital far away from their home. This means to save their child’s life, this family had to leave their home, their community, and their lives to essentially move to another state where they knew no one in order to access the care needed to save Charlotte. Even today, in order to undergo her routine checkups to monitor her remission, they have to travel far away to access a team/facility qualified to provide the level of care needed. This level of travel isn’t available to many many families who are fighting similar battles for their children.
Receiving a terrifying diagnosis for your child is devastating; but on top of that having to uproot your life and move away in order to treat them isn’t an option that all families can access.
This is where the work of Jessie and Kelly’s LifeRing Foundation comes in!
They are working around the clock to build and staff a world class pediatric cancer treatment center in our region so that families in our community can focus on healing their sweet babies without having to move away- or worse, families that don’t have the option of moving away can still easily access medical care to help save their children’s lives!
AND YOU CAN HELP!
Currently the LifeRing foundation is in a contest to be part of a publication that can help spread the news of their cause and help connect them to future funders, and ALL YOU HAVE TO DO to help them is vote for them once a day until Dec 17.
Thank you for helping a wonderful family in their very special work!
