While she should be studying for exams, a teenage girl is preparing to battle a bone marrow transplant, intense chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Coldstream91裸聊视频檚 Averi Morey is currently at BC Children91裸聊视频檚 Hospital, fighting aplastic anemia (bone marrow failure).

The now 15-year-old was first diagnosed in December 2020, when she was so sick that she couldn91裸聊视频檛 even stand up without almost passing out. From Vernon Jubilee Hospital, within hours the young girl was flown to Children91裸聊视频檚 Hospital in Vancouver.

She underwent treatment and after about a year of immune suppression it was determined she had gone into remission. But bad news followed in October 2023 when the family found out she had relapsed.

91裸聊视频淲e knew something was wrong because in gym class she was getting very severe bruising from normal things like a volleyball hitting her wrist,91裸聊视频 said mom Jerica Armitage. 91裸聊视频淪ince October she has been on different combinations of different medications to try and keep her as healthy as possible while waiting for a transplant.91裸聊视频

Averi is back at Children91裸聊视频檚 Hospital, has started treatment and is now scheduled for bone marrow transplant on March 21.

91裸聊视频淭his is scary. Period. And it91裸聊视频檚 the second time she91裸聊视频檚 had to fight for her life,91裸聊视频 said Jerica.

The transplant, along with chemotherapy and radiation, requires Averi to stay in Vancouver for four to six months.

91裸聊视频淭he sheer gravity of Averi91裸聊视频檚 medical needs is compounded by the absence from work for both sets of parents (Tyler and Jerica Armitage, along with Matthew and Brittany Morey),91裸聊视频 said Jamie Carpenter. 91裸聊视频淭he strain of managing multiple trips, extended stays at the Ronald McDonald House, and caring for their other children is a monumental task, both emotionally and financially.91裸聊视频

To help alleviate the financial burden, Carpenter has created a GoFundMe fundraiser at .

91裸聊视频淵our donation, no matter the size, will serve as a beacon of hope for Averi and her family, providing them with the crucial support needed to navigate this challenging chapter in their lives. Your kindness and generosity will allow them to focus on what matters most: Averi91裸聊视频檚 well-being and her journey towards recovery.91裸聊视频

Even once she is home, Averi will need around the clock care.

91裸聊视频淭here are so many moving parts to this process,91裸聊视频 said Jerica. 91裸聊视频淪pecial cleaning protocols for our house, medications that cost thousands of dollars a month and burn through our extended health, multiple trips back and forth once we91裸聊视频檙e home, the need for me to be off work until she91裸聊视频檚 better - it91裸聊视频檚 so much.91裸聊视频

The transplant is her last option, as Jerica explains there are no other treatments.

91裸聊视频淭his has to work because we can91裸聊视频檛 exist in a world that Averi isn91裸聊视频檛 a part of.91裸聊视频

Averi is a student at Vernon Secondary (although she has been out of school battling the illness) and she has three younger siblings.
