Hello,
My name is Lindsay, I am a 16-year-old year girl who has been recently diagnosed with Undifferentiated Sarcoma. I was diagnosed officially in June 2024 by my doctors at Parkview and Riley Children's Hospital. I currently live with my dad, mom, younger sister, and younger brother in Akron, Indiana. Being in the hospital for a period of time is not new for my family as when I was younger I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease which delayed my growth however this is the longest that I have been away from my siblings. Though it's sometimes it's nice to have my peace and quiet, I do find myself missing them. The back and forth from the hospital has been the hardest part so far for me and my family. I am asking for assistance for my family as we do have to travel a great distance for my treatments and my father is our main source of income. He has done so much for me and my family so far and getting some extra help would relieve some stress on my family. Anything is appreciated and my family thank you greatly for your support.
