Beneficiary
The beneficiary for Faithful Friends’ proceeds from the Yard Sale will be Charlotte Roland and the Roland family. Charlotte is a beautiful, strong, smart 7-year-old who loves God, her family, and her life of school, friends, dancing, swimming, going to the beach, and playing with her 4-year old sister and 2-year old brother.
On June 26 2020, the Roland Family’s life completely changed in an instant. Charlotte was rushed to Saint Joe’s ER in Reading for a brain bleed. She was taken immediately by helicopter to the children’s hospital at Hershey where she had emergency brain surgery. On July 10, it was learned that the cause of this brain bleed was a level 4 medullablastoma brain tumor. Since the diagnosis, Charlotte has already undergone two additional brain surgeries and started radiation at CHOP, which will be completed late September. She will then relocate to St. Jude’s in Memphis, TN with her mom and Grandma for four months of clinical trial chemotherapy and radiation.
