Dear Family and Friends,

We are extremely touched by the outpouring of support we have received since learning Ariana's leukemia has relapsed again. People have been asking how they can help.  As we are settling into this life again, we have been thinking about what we think we will need in addition to meals: https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/yrykgk.

We set this site up for anyone who would like to contribute to things that we anticipate we need or will be helpful over the next year as Ariana fights this leukemia once and for all.

A few ways any donations received will be used include:
1) The most natural looking wig ever. One of the hardest parts of this right now for Ariana is that she will lose her hair again and it will be a long time before it grows out to the length it is now. She wants to go to school, but she doesn't want to go if she is bald. She doesn't want to be known as the "cancer kid". She had a couple of wigs from her first relapse, but she did not like them in the end because she felt they looked like a wig. She really wants one that she says does not look "wiggy". We are looking into options for the most natural looking wig and if anyone has a leads, please reach out. We know it will be very pricey (some we have seen are $5,000+) and any help to get this for her would be very appreciated.
2) Tutoring to help her keep up with her high school classes. Her current dream school is UCLA and she is very anxious about her schoolwork and grades. 
3) Her personal trainer.  Ariana is very upset at how her muscles are not what they were like prior to the graft vs. host disease that she had in her muscles. She started working with a trainer who works with teens and had been through a transplant herself, right before she relapsed. The trainer has agreed to come to our house and work with her. When she beats this again, next year she would like to try out for flag football at school.
4) House cleaning
5) Laundry service
