✨❤️Donna’s Journey: The Spark Behind It All

In February 2025, everything changed. My mom, Donna, the woman whose sparkle lit up every room — the one I grew up watching put on her makeup and jewelry like armor — was diagnosed with primary plasma cell leukemia, one of the rarest and most aggressive blood cancers. No warning. No roadmap. Just a fight we never asked for, but refused to lose.

From day one, Mom came in swinging. Even though she wasn’t a candidate for a bone marrow or stem cell transplant, she responded remarkably to Dara-KRD therapy — blowing past expectations, baffling doctors, and proving that miracles aren’t always loud. Sometimes they’re quiet, stubborn, and wearing sparkly earrings.

Her journey became my mission. I wasn’t just a daughter anymore — I became her driver, her advocate, her note-taker, her cheerleader, and her shadow. Every appointment. Every lab. Every late-night fear. Every tiny victory. And somewhere in the middle of that chaos, the idea for HoldHer Spark was born.

✨❤️I needed tools that made caregiving easier. She needed accessories that made her feel beautiful, strong, and still her. And women around us — fighters, daughters, sisters, friends — needed something that honored their strength too.✨❤️

So I built it.

For her.

For me.

For all of us.

✨❤️Today, HoldHer Spark is a growing line of accessories and organizers designed to give women comfort, confidence, and that little touch of magic during the hardest battles of their lives. Moms like Donna. Caregivers like me. Warriors everywhere.✨❤️

✨❤️Because her spark never dimmed. And it sure as hell lit mine.✨❤️

✨❤️ The Journey Continues Updated January 2026.

For a moment, it felt like we had turned a corner.

Donna responded deeply to treatment. The words “remarkable response” and “better than expected” brought real relief — proof that the fight was working. Hope crept back in. We allowed ourselves to breathe.

Then the truth of plasma cell leukemia showed itself.

This disease doesn’t move in straight lines. What looked like control revealed how aggressive and unpredictable it can be. The shift from progress to urgency came fast — bringing emotional whiplash no one warns you about. One day you’re celebrating response. The next, you’re adjusting the plan.

That pivot didn’t mean failure. It meant escalation.

CAR-T cell therapy entered the picture not as a last resort, but as the next strategic step — a targeted, advanced treatment designed to meet an aggressive disease head-on. Preparing for it has meant more testing, more clearances, and more waiting, each one carrying its own weight.

And still — Donna shows up.

Not because she isn’t afraid.
But because she is determined.

This chapter is happening in real time. It’s layered with anxiety, hope, exhaustion, and resilience — sometimes all in the same day. As her caregiver and daughter, I’ve learned that strength isn’t loud. It’s steady. It’s showing up again and again even when the ground shifts beneath you.

HoldHer Spark continues to grow inside this reality. Every piece, every detail, every intention behind this brand is rooted in lived experience — from infusion days to the emotional whiplash of changing plans.

✨❤️ We don’t know the ending yet.
But we know this: the spark is still burning. ✨❤️
