Help Bennie McAlister Harvey Fight Sarcoma with Life-Saving Trials at MD Anderson
Our dear Bennie McAlister Harvey has been courageously battling Sarcoma cancer for nine long years. It’s been an incredibly arduous journey, and she has faced every challenge with unwavering strength and spirit. Recently, the doctors here in California delivered heartbreaking news: they have exhausted all conventional treatment options, offering only the grim prospect of leg amputation with no guarantee of eradicating the cancer.
However, a new beacon of hope has emerged! On May 21st, Bennie traveled to the renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, to explore alternative treatments. There, she underwent testing for several immune therapy trials that hold the potential to send her cancer into remission. We are overjoyed to share that Bennie qualified and has been chosen for one of these groundbreaking trials!
This is truly a miraculous opportunity, and we are immensely grateful that the immune therapy trials themselves are covered by the trial sponsors. However, the significant costs associated with travel and lodging to and from Houston are not. Bennie will be required to be in Texas every three weeks for approximately a week at a time to receive these vital treatments.
We are reaching out to our community, friends, and anyone moved by Bennie’s fight to help alleviate this substantial financial burden. We estimate the total cost for these essential trips, covering air travel, ground transportation, lodging, and food, to be approximately $30,000.
Your generous contribution, no matter the size, will directly support Bennie’s access to this potentially life-saving treatment. It will allow her to focus solely on her healing and recovery, without the added stress of mounting travel expenses.
Please consider donating to Bennie’s fundraiser campaign and sharing her story with your networks. Every share and every dollar brings her closer to a future free from cancer.
Thank you for your compassion, prayers, and support during this critical time. Let’s help Bennie continue her fight and reclaim her health!
With heartfelt gratitude,
The Family of Bennie McAlister Harvey
