Fundraisers underway for three-year-old girl with leukemia

Rosalind Russell
By Rosalind Russell
A three-year-old Massey girl has been diagnosed with leukemia and the community is drawing together to assist the family.
Isabelle, the daughter of Joel and Stephanie Lacasse, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on September 13th.
She has been undergoing chemo-therapy and will need ongoing medical care.
To that end, family, friends, schools and businesses have come together to help the family financially since Stephanie has had to take a leave of absence to take care of Isabelle.
Help is needed for travel, stay and some medication but some programs are helping a bit.
Go to Help Support Isabelle’s Fight! Tickets are available for a basket draw, but are running out quickly. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2463070640602060/
Or to make an online donation, go to: https://www.gofundme.com/f/rcg45-isabelles-journey?
