Lee was life-flighted to Denver, Colorado, and diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, as well as COVID-19, back on December 2, 2020. She spent the following 22 days in isolation, beginning her fight against cancer. She had to have spinal tap chemotherapy twice a week. Along with those procedures, she also had a port catheter placed, x-rays, EKGs, and ultrasounds on her liver and kidneys.

 

After being released from the hospital, because Wyoming does not have any medical care facilities to assist her, she was placed in a clean-living facility called Brent’s Place in Denver, Colorado. Brent’s Place provides a safe environment and gives Tabitha a chance to meet other kids like her and the opportunity to do special activities like music lessons.

Donations are also being accepted on GoFundMe.com for Tabitha’s fight against Leukemia and on Facebook, as well.
