Hey guys and gals!
Listen I know times are bad for alot of us and some of us always need help! HOWEVER Times have been HORRIBLE for The Harvey Family! I Deployed in 2007 With Spc. Bryan Harvey, just shortly after he and his wife had gotten married. Heather, Bryan's wife also had a brother in our Unit (4th BDE 10th MTN). While we were Deployed Heather lost her brother while Bryan and Marcus were at FOB Loyalty Iraq. Bryan got to witness his best friend and his wife's brother be killed due to indirect fire. Bryan escorted Marcus home to her brother. I tell you that back story to bring you up to where the Harvey Family is now! Bryan and Heather's daughter was complaining of some leg pain on November 3rd after doing some trick-or-treating with her brother. After a stop to the hospital to figure out what was going on, and a couple blood tests later Bryan and Heather got to find out that their daughter Anya has a form of leukemia. I posted a link to a site that they are currently trying to raise money to simply survive/pay bills. Please help if you can and please give what you can. This is a family forged out of hardship and has been through enough! If you can and what you can....lets rally and help them out! They are one of our own!!! If you need help finding the website, please jump over to Facebook and look me up on there and I will point you in the right direction or Call/Text my cell phone [login to see] and I will help you out!

SGT (Join to see) Yes I sure did but he has gone to bed, I suspect. He is in Tampa next to the girl.

I suspect so, too. Hopefully sleeping as well as can be expected. I left a message for Heather on the donation site with a link back to RP and requested her to contact the Rescue Squad if there is something more we can do in the meantime. Awful situation. I feel so bad for that baby.

SGT (Join to see) This is why I am a spiritual person and believe in God because I need no science book to be blessed and regardless if you do not believe I am good with that because I know how much all of you care for our own. That is the pay off right there...
That poor cute baby. How can a heart not be moved?

Is there any chance of setting up a "Fund Me" site like the one that was done on here for another member? I'm posting your site to my FB account. That is where most of my OTV friends are (Other Than Veterans).

Any ideas can help and cannot help. I am going to contact their local Make-A-Wish Foundation and Give Kids the World in Kissimmee,, Florida. I feel good about this.

Aright guys!!! Thank you all again so much for keeping this beautiful little girl and her mommy and daddy in your hearts and thoughts and prayers. Anya has recently gotten to come home and hang out at home while still having to go back to the hospital to get treatment and so forth, she is now allowed to sleep in her bed, at her house, and be surrounded by the love of her family. Anya has been SUCH a little trooper and stayed as strong as possible! You all have come together in ways I didn't know strangers could. I under estimated my military brothers and sisters! I am so grateful to know you all and call you all my friends! Thank you so much for sharing this. Thank you all so much for caring enough to be able to help a family in a time of dire need. You are all rockstars! Thank you again!!!!! SPC (Join to see) SSgt (Join to see) SFC Mark Merino SGT (Join to see) and every one else that has been involved...Thank you all SO ery much!

CPT Richard Riley You have always been a sound caring person and it reflects in your attitudes and actions. Some nights I have so many seizures that are just more annoying than deadly. That said I would rather find the jewel in their heart than the imperfection. Perhaps through emotional health and support we can do more for those in need, rather than articulate on someone else's short-comings. And deal with the things that really matter.

Anya Took her first walk outside today! Got to meet a support dog, and felt like a normal healthy little girl! She still has bad bone pain and has some pretty aggresive mood swings because of it. The doctors up'd her pain medication in hopes to make her life as enjoyable as it can be. Please ya'll keep passing this along! We are doing it! They still need help, and like SSgt (Join to see) had said before. $4500 will help tremendously... but its definitely not going to be enough! There are hundreds of thousands of people on Rally Point. If we can get this around on here enough, we can help this little girl and her family out! If each one of us give just a dollar...imagine the help that the family will get?! Please continue to pray for Anya, and please continue to pass this along and help in any way you can! Thank you all so much for the help that we've been able to give and all the support Bryan (Anya's dad) has gotten from his military brothers and sisters!

SSG Jeremy Siebenaller I remember my own niece at that age and I would pretend to get her hair and eat it. She would grab my mouth and slab that hair back on her head. She used to have me tell her about the planets. Uncle Warry. lol

I remember now some 29 years ago losing our son David to a premature birth. Barely 16oz, David fought valiantly but lost that fight. I remember sitting in a rocking chair holding him and how Tina looked frightened as if she saw a ghost, even harder times when we saw the baby David for the last time. We gave both kids a strong spiritual name and I know that I miss him and why I cannot take this kind of thing for granted.
As a VIP at East Bay Raceway Park, a Sheriff's Deputy was losing a 9yr old girl to osteosarcoma. I was listening as she told another girl she had picked out her dress for her funeral. I almost cried with anger at the injustice. A year later, tragedy struck again. I remember her brother, 9 himself contracted this insidious and fatal disease. All I remember is saying sorry and hugging that deputy. Sometimes this stuff just doesn't seem fair and is why I was a Support Group Facilitator at the Clyde Perry Institute at the hospital where Anya is at. These situations are beyond politics and the mundane stuff.
It is ours to make the world a better as much as we can.

I just wish those vets who feel that way knew how to use the internet because I would be there in a heartbeat! With my passive temperament and sense of humor, I make for a great morale booster.
One time this vet (in his 80s) copped a feel on my butt. It creeped me out but I didn't report it because he was a damn WWII vet and this is America! I thanked him for his service and went on about my business feeling as patriotic as ever :)

SSG V. Michelle Woods I am using several different resources to accomplish this and one of the first that can be done is contacting the Appropriate Make-A-Wish Foundation that will facilitate a happy ending for the family and a few well-timed smiles.

There are many organizations out there trying to get our dollars into their pockets. Before i retired, I was a teacher and Make-A-Wish ties were numerous (I had over 200 ties all together and about half were ties Make-A-Wish or Save the Children ties. My wife has Le Bonner Children's Hospital car tags and every year about this time we make a contribution to the Hospital.
