Make a Donation to help Kelsey and her Family

Sweet Kelsey Luria has been in one hospital or another since November 4, 2014, with almost no respite. She has been fighting AML leukemia with every ounce of her being. Unfortunately, recent weeks have tested her.  Kelsey, and her family, need our financial support.  The last several weeks have been the most difficult, and Kelsey has far to go before she can rest.

Kelsey has been getting excellent care from the doctors and nurses at Banner UMC, but with her recent, multi-system complications, they recognized that she needs even more specialized attention.

On April 2, a team from UCLA flew to Tucson to pick up Kelsey and take her to Los Angeles in a specially equipped medical jet.  Michael and Maya had to fly over, alone, to meet her.  The very best doctors continue to attend to her life-threatening liver and cardiac complications, while managing the rest of her fragile state.  She will be in UCLA’s pediatric intensive care unit for a while where she is in the fight of her life.

Michael and Maya are committed to being with Kelsey, and this will require travel to and from LA; looking after Max, a freshman at Catalina Foothills High School; and even more absences from work.  Travel and medical expenses are mounting.

Donating here is easy and gives you the ability to immediately help the family, no matter where you are.  NOTE- you do not have to pay a fee to donate.  Under your gift amount, just click the “Optional Payments to YouCaring’s operating costs” and enter $0.”

If you are in Tucson, you can also visit any Wells Fargo location and support the Lurias with a deposit into the B+ Team Kelsey/Kelsey Luria account.  Just ask the teller to look up the account under Michael Luria’s name.  The last five digits of the account are 50639  Many thanks to the folks at Wells Fargo for their support.

If you have questions, call Dev Sethi at 520-979-1826 or Cindie (Luria) Wolfe at 520-808-3258. Thank you for your support.

Take Them a Meal Program

(Organizer: Cindie Wolfe)

From Cindie: I am setting this up in efforts to help with some of the burden for Michael and Maya to keep up with meals while Kelsey is in the hospital for an extended period of time.

While I put the hospital as a delivery location coordination for delivery may be easier depending on whom is staying when, and where please contact me or Michael or Maya to determine what is best for delivery.

Kelsey has sent along a list of some of her favorite places to eat at : Lotus Garden, Pei Wei, Sauce, Outback Steak house,Dairy Queen and Yogurt Land, She is not a big fan of Mexican food.

For more specific questions feel free to text Michael or Maya I know it seems confusing however I think the details can be worked out.
