Meet the Pollard family:
I was introduced to Bo and Noel Pollard just yesterday, and after hearing their story, I couldn’t not share what is going on in their lives.
Bo and Noel are a couple residing in Hawaii — Bo just recently graduated with a degree in respiratory therapy, and Noel a nurse. This family of three is soon to be a family of four, as Noel is currently pregnant. Bo and Noel already have a beautiful baby girl, Isabella, who is one year old.
This is seemingly an ordinary situation; however, something has turned the Pollard’s world upside down. Their beautiful little girl has a stage three cancerous neuroblastoma in her abdomen and is currently undergoing chemotherapy until the cancer is shrunk enough to do surgery to remove the tumor.
Bella has already undone four rounds of chemotherapy and has her good days and bad days. What would make this family’s situation a little easier right now is having the financial means to pay for all of Bella’s treatments and surgeries.
So, here is my proposition. I would love for this community to help out the Pollards, knowing that little things add up quickly. The Pollards have a donation page for Bella here. When you make your donation to help this family, I would ask that you leave a comment below telling me you did. This will enter you into winning a prize pack of goodies, including my Chewy Pumpkin Spice Granola bars. I’m going to cut this giveaway off tomorrow night at 6:00 PM, but you can continue to bless the Pollards with your gifts long after.
Please find it in your heart to help out the Pollards and baby Bella.
