Hello, my name is Sabrina Burnside. Some of you may know me as that crazy lady with 11 kids, haha. Well, that may be true, but I love those kiddos more than life itself.

Most of you don’t know, since we prefer to keep our issues quiet and to ourselves, but our almost 3-year-old daughter, Magdalyna, has been sick for over a year. We have been searching for the reason, and after what seems like forever, we finally have that answer. She just got diagnosed with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, a rare kidney disease, especially in young children. This is going to require more testing and removal of her kidney, which needs to be done at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

We have already made multiple trips to our local hospital as well as Geisinger in Danville, Pennsylvania. And now we will be traveling to Philadelphia. Now, as much as we hate to, we are asking for help to offset the financial strain this is causing. We have never asked for help and had hoped to not have to. But here we are.

We have always been willing to donate Dan’s artwork to anyone who asked to help others in situations like ours, so we are hoping our community shows us the same kindness we have shown them. This is a tough time for our family, but I know with time and the help and support of our little community, we will make it through this. Please consider helping my daughter. Thank you all in advance.
