I met Shahonna via Facebook after my husband was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia in 2013. I was looking for some support groups or anything that would help us learn more about AA. I saw Shahonna's story and could not believe what she had been through for so many years yet she never gave up, she would find the energy to run a race after having transfusions just days before. She fought hard, really hard and I admired her for that and her persistence to win against this awful disease. After my husband lost his battle with AA in 2015 I continued to follow Shahonna. I was so ecstatic when I found out she was finally going to get her chance for a life without transfusions and hopefully a normal life one day. She touched so many people and made such a difference in so many lives she will never be forgotten. God bless her and her family.
