Hope For Hailey

To:  Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

Little Hailey Kent was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of Leukemia (Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia) at only 3 months old. Since then she has had to endure more than most of us will ever in our lives. She has spent most of her life in this hospital, has had to endure aggressive chemotherapy, countless surgeries, and blood transfusions and had a stem cell transplant. All of this before even turning 1 year old!

The stem cell transplant that Hailey received last spring has left her immune system very weak and virtually non-existent, so she is extremely susceptible to germs, viruses, and bacteria... all of these things live in our houses and has virtually no effect on us. But with Hailey, one little cold could kill her. One of the ways to help protect Hailey from these potentially lethal things is to guard her surroundings. Although the Kents have done the best with what they have, their house can probably never can be 100% suitable for Hailey. It is an older home, and therefore already contains germs and whatnot... no matter how often is cleaned. They are desperately in need of a HEPA filter that could filter out all of the "bad" air through out their entire house. Right now they only have a few very small filters in the rooms Hailey spends the most time in. Unfortunately, because they rent their home, even if they did have the money for a HEPA filter, they have been told that installing one would not be possible because it would be a permanent change to the house.

We believe that if enough people get together to help this very deserving family we can make their dreams come true and provide them with a home that will be a much safer and healthier living environment for Hailey and her family. We are contacting Extreme Makeover: Home Edition for their help, but can't do it without all of YOU.

Please sign this petition to give hope to Hailey and her family and lets get Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to build the Kents a new house!

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
