I am a Police Officer / mother

If I may, I would like to share my story with you....

Before I do, no harm in anything I say now is intended to anyone.  I am merely sharing my feelings as a police officer and mother.

Myself, as well as my husband has been active Police Officers for 14 years.  We wear the uniform and badge proudly and it is an honor to serve and protect. 

At work those wearing uniform and badge are seen as family. They are sisters and brothers in blue.  Together we shall stand, "they say".

Not only do we have a duty to act as peacemakers of law enforcement towards our country and it's citizens.  But we have the same responsibility towards our family at home.

Tears flow as I write this to you:

Our family consists of myself ( a LEO), my husband (a LEO), our 9 year old son and our 7 year old daughter.

Our 7 year old daughter Kaylene was diagnosed with a rare kidney desease, called Nephrotic Syndrome in 2014.  

She is in and out of hospital and has been placed on a permanent treatment.  After her third relapse she had a kidney biopsy and must now be placed on Endoxen also used to treat Cancer. She has had three relapses and underwent a kidney biopsy.

Unfortuanately our medical aid does not cover all her needs, nor all of her treatment.  We can not afford her treatment either.  The nephrologist refuses treatment without payment and without this treatment we will loose her.

The Nephrologist calls each treatment as "buying time".
The longer we wait for her to get treated, the more damage is done to the kidneys.

So here I am watching how our daughter is fading away slowly and I am begging you for help.  

Kaylene also has a FB support group; here you can follow her updates. please feel free to join her support group,

Kaylene Crewe NS Support Group.

Please Act Today

What would you do if you knew that money was the only thing standing between your child and their chance at a full and happy life? What would any parent do? 

We can't let this happen. We can't stand by and watch our little girl lose everything she is, suffer unimaginable pain and frustration and ultimately die. What would we tell her big brother in a few years, when the disease has taken over completely? What would we tell ourselves?

Please help support our urgent, lifesaving mission. Every cent counts, but even if all you can do is forward this link to as many people you know, you will have our eternal gratitude.
