Love for Madi

Love for Madi This page has been started in honor of Madison Cicarella. She is a beautiful, talented and kind 8th grader who lives in West Haven, CT. HOW CAN YOU HELP?
1.

Madi as we all call her is currently ready to fight and fight hard. We are all her behind her to help her fight! This page as well as a virtual bone marrow donor drive has been started to help Madison Cicarella. The day after Christmas 2020 Madi was taken to Yale emergency room after collapsing at home. Until that time she and her mom, Nikki, didn't know there was anything wrong. But when she was

taken to the hospital and they began running tests, she was admitted to the ICU. She was there for several days and underwent different testing and transfusions and although beginning to feel better, was receiving no answers. At that time they decided to do bone marrow testing because her results were all very concerning but not definitive. After she had the blood marrow testing performed and received the preliminary results, she was able to return home with her mom Nikki. However, they still had no definitive answers but only some very concerning possibilities. She followed up with her doctors and new hematologists. By Friday 1/15/21, after many tests, more transfusions and doctor's visits, Madi and Nikki received the diagnosis for Madi. She has been diagnosed with Myelodysplasia. This is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow does not make enough healthy blood cells (white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets) and there are abnormal cells in the blood and/or bone marrow. When there are fewer healthy blood cells, infection, anemia, or bleeding may occur. Madi is now starting months of treatments including chemotherapy and ultimately will be needing a bone marrow transplant. Madi's friend's and family have started the process of being tested but we need more people to get tested to increase the possibility of finding a match for her! Both Madi and Nikki need our love and support right now in many ways. Go to https://dkmsgetinvolved.org/virtualDrive/bone-marrow-for-madi and sign up to be tested to become a bone marrow donor

We’re a month out so please grab your tickets.

All,

We are planning to hold a fundraiser for Nikki Stancarone and Madison Cicarella. The event will be held on August 4th, from 1700-2000 (5pm-8pm), at Stony Creek Brewery in Branford. We will have the second floor reserved for us. There will be some raffles there, and Stony Creek will be brewing a special brew for the event, where the brew sales from that brew will be their donation to Nikki and Madi!

Tickets are forty dollars ($40.00) each. Please see Jay Masi, Scott Allard, Craig Thompson, or Denice Ford for ticket sales. We have all been cooped up and quarantined inside since last spring, and we are hoping for good turnout, good sales, and some more of your strong support for Nikki and Madi! Don’t stop now…..their fight goes on, and they still have a rough road to get through…

Madi continues to struggle and experience setbacks. She is still in ICU at the hospital with Nikki by her side. Nikki sends her thanks and gratitude for all that has been accomplished for them this far and our thoughts, prayers, and support help them both get through each day.




Thank you and see you all on August 4th
