We welcome you to join us in this special gift!

Below is a letter from Shardae, Trent and Tremell's mother.

Hello, my name is Shardae and I am a mother of 4 children ,2 girls and 2 boys. My 2 boys are Trent (9) and Tremell (7), both boys were diagnosed with a terminal illness called Cystic Fibrosis also known as CF.

My husband and I just recently moved to Florida from New York, 6 months ago. We decided to move because, about 2 years ago our son Tremell had developed a dangerous bacteria in his lungs that can cause serious severe damage to the lungs which can eventually lead to death, so we thought that it was in our boys interest to move to a warmer climate praying that with new doctors and new treatment and with better weather, things would get better!

Well unfortunately, there was no change! As I am writing to you we are currently in the hospital. Trent and Tremell has been through so much since birth. Tremell has had countless surgeries and procedures and now the doctors are talking about lung transplant! My husband and I have been struggling for the longest and now because our baby is in the hospital neither one of us can work, so not only are our bills piling up but we are unable to give our kids the Christmas our kids deserve.

It’s bad enough that they have been through so much as it is, especially with the Covid-19 pandemic and the loss of school on top of moving so far away from family and friends! We are at lost right now and we feel so alone!

The story can go on and on ... Our lights got shut off while we were getting ready to take Tremell to the hospital, like our life has been hit after hit, but we continue to keep the faith and try to move forward the best way we know how.

I would like to ask if this foundation is able too, to please bless us with some kind of financial relief, please and thank you in advance.
