Hello, my daughters best friends family just got some devastating news today that one of their nine month old triplet daughters has cancer and will need to undergo surgery and chemo. The Wells Family is an amazing family you just welcomed babies 5,6,7 back in March as they were also premature. She was hospitalized at 28 weeks in February and they were born C-section at 32 weeks in March because K and V shared a sac and cords were tangled. We went home about 3 months later in May/June. Jojo was the triplet that had her own sac but the doctors deemed it was all one placenta so they were all identical. It was a spontaneous triplet pregnancy so I hadn't planned to be out of work before having them. She also didn't anticipate needing to take extended time off after and step down from her management position. Triplets are a lot of work and she breastfed them for 5 months which was a full time job. Her husband wellman is a disabled veteran with a purple heart. His rank was E5 Sergeant. Who stays at home and takes care of the kids while Stacey works. She went back to work in October, remaining part time at her current job and picking up a new full-time job overnight. With Jojo's cancer diagnosis it is only fair to all of her children that she take’s another leave of absence to split her time between the hospital and home. She will be going back and fourth between U OF M and her home. I am setting up this fundraiser to try and help this family at this tough time especially getting this devastating news three weeks before Christmas. So anything will help gift cards food, she is not sure how long her leave will be. We will keep an update as we get it.
