Summer Fun for B+ Heroes
DelVal BMW B+ Track Day
About 30 B+ Heroes & family members enjoyed a great day at New Jersey Motorsports Park courtesy of our partner, the DelVal BMW Club. The families got to meet the drivers and then enjoy an exciting couple of laps around the ten corner, 1.9 mile circuit. We may have just lit the fuse on some future NASCAR drivers. Thanks DelVal BMW for lunch and a fun day at the track!
Featured Family - Meet Jenika
Last week alone, we provided $99,000 in Family Assistance Program grants. One of the families that you assisted was Jenika. Here’s her story, as told by her Social Worker.
“This letter is on behalf of the family of our patient, Jenika. Jenika is a 17-year-old female diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Jenika is currently admitted at our medical facilityreceiving inpatient chemotherapy treatment. Jenika is anticipated to undergo treatment over the next 2 years. Jenika was admitted to our medical facility and diagnosed with cancer the evening of her senior prom. Not only did Jenika miss her senior prom in which she won prom queen, Jenika also missed her senior trip and high school graduation. Furthermore, Jenika received and signed an offer from (a college) women’s basketball team and will now have to defer college for at least a year due to treatment. Jenika lives 80+ miles from our medical facility via one-way trip) with her parents. Both parents are employed. Mom stepped away from work to serve as Jenika’s primary medical caregiver and has exhausted her Paid Family Leave in the process of doing so. Dad is currently utilizing his PFL and is receiving partial pay up until it expires 09/04/2022. At this time, over half of family’s income has been lost due to the high acuity/frequency of Jenika’s treatment and of that half, Dad is only receiving a partial amount of his checks. With that said, Jenika’s family is seeking support around paying their rent for the upcoming month of September 2022. Any support that B+ Foundation is able to provide Jenika and her family is deeply appreciated.”
Please pray for Jenika, her family, and all of our kids and their families. When a child gets cancer, the whole family gets cancer.
