NOTE
I’m selling this CAC Battery Flag to help fund my family while I’m in MUSC Charleston, SC.
My oldest daughter is going to graduate in May so I’m having her stay in the upstate while Allie and I are in Charleston.
This isn’t going to be easy.
With this purchase you are helping my 13 year old daughter fight for her life against leukemia.
If you can’t purchase, please say a prayer for her. Her name is Allison Davis and she 13.
Thank You. and God Bless />
