There is nothing more powerful than a community coming together to support a family going through the hardest fight of their life. Last year, a family member approached me about longtime family friends of theirs who had just received devastating news: their 3-year-old daughter had cancer. I read about her story, saw photos of sweet Ruthie, and was heartbroken to think of what they were enduring, but also excited to know there was something we could do to help.
Ruthie is a vibrant & beautiful 3-year-old little girl from Augusta, Georgia who has been diagnosed with a rare cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma. Her family has been advocating for her from day one and they are currently in Houston, Texas for an extended stay for Ruthie to receive treatment. The family has incurred substantial costs during this ordeal and also has two other very young daughters to care for as well.
This spring, I am hosting a Motherhood Session Raffle to raise money for Ruthie’s family. My goal is to raise over $1000, can you help me do that? Every dollar raised will go towards supporting the endless expenses that are incurred during a life-changing diagnosis like pediatric cancer, such as time off from work, travel for treatment, at-home medical needs, childcare for their other children, and more.
What You Can Win:
One lucky winner will receive a Motherhood Session on Saturday, April 26, 2025 in Batesburg, SC (just off I-20, convenient to Augusta, Aiken, Columbia, and more). Motherhood Portraits (valued at $270) focus specifically on celebrating motherhood and all that moms do.
