Francesca’s Dad has a message for WNY

We first told you about little Francesca just last week. (Read story)

The 3-year-old was diagnosed with leukemia in mid-February. Her father, Dominic told us the plan was 29-days of intense chemotherapy in the hospital. And that was what was happening. Until something pretty remarkable happened.

Francesca’s father, Dominic Morabito asked me to pass along some news, “Here’s a follow up for you, Francesca is home! The doctors were so confidant in the way she responded to the treatments that they felt confidant enough to let her finish her initial regiment of treatments at home.” He went on to say how grateful he is, “I just can’t thank everyone enough for the prayers and words of support and encouragement over the last week.”

Francesca still has a long road ahead, with three weeks of chemotherapy left, followed by years of maintenance. A nurse visits several times a week to monitor the little girl.

Friends and family have set up a fundraising page and they are planning a benefit for the family on May 20, 2017. More details to come on that soon.

For now, let’s all continue sending prayers and good vibes to sweet little Francesca!

About Me

 

 

Welcome to Totally Buffalo! A local lifestyle website.

My name is Mary Friona-Celani and I am the creator of this site! I’m a wife, a mom, a grandma, a Buffalo booster, an entrepreneur and a small business owner. I’m so glad you stopped by.  After 20 years in the buffalo media, I went out on my own to tell stories about the people, places, events and all-around fabulousness of this wonderful place we call home. Buffalo is different and so is this site. We are here to share stories, encourage kindness, and help make this a better place to live.

We’ll help those in need when we can through our charity arm, Totally Buffalo Cares.

We help local small businesses, artisans and vendors though our events and our Totally Buffalo Stores.

We’ll do all of this with a little help from friends in our community.
