The Goliday Family
Our Story
My name is Kimberly, and I am the mother of Zayleigh.. On August 29th 2024 I took Zayleigh to her pediatrician because she was running a fever for over a week. Prior to that I took her to several emergency rooms and clinics to which she was getting misdiagnosed. At her pediatrician appointment, he did blood work and came in with his head down and gave me the news no mother wants to hear.
He said she has cancer Leukemia and that we would be going to Lebohneur in Memphis to get her stable, then over to St Jude. We we're admitted to St Jude on August 30th and after a few days, the test confirmed it was Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She was diagnosed on September 4th , and started treatment right away. On September 11th, we were discharged and stayed at the Ronald McDonald House to be close to the hospital.
She was placed on a three year treatment plan, and up until her diagnosis I was working. Now, having to be home with her and travel to Memphis for her chemotherapy, I no longer can.
Back in April of this year she got a fever and was admitted to the hospital where she went septic. She had E.coli and typhlitis and place in ICU for a few days. We spent two weeks in the hospital during that time. Her dad is still working currently, but I no longer bring in an income because all my focus on Zayleigh while she goes through chemotherapy.
A small donation would help us a lot. We will appreciate it more than anything as I know times are hard on everyone with this economy. If your not able to donate just pray as we continue this journey as she is now in remission but will have to complete the treatment plan that has been put forward. Thank you for your time in reading this and for following our journey. ️️ ZAYLEIGH STRONG
