“Sadie”

The Leigh Sakoda Foundation celebrated Father’s Day by making a very important grant to a 30 year old woman who is fighting a rare, undifferentiated leukemia (cancer in the blood). She is currently hospitalized and will undergo a bone marrow transplant along with at least 2 months of frequent follow-up treatments. She is a stay at home mom with 3 very young children, and her insurance does not cover all of the medical bills nor the increasing expense of regularly traveling back and forth from the hospital which is over 4 hours away. Her husband has additionally had to take time off from work to help with her care. This grant will help them with medical bills and transportation expenses.
