DAYTON, Ohio ( WDTN ) — The Moose Lodge of Xenia will host a benefit on Saturday for a local 2-year-old with a bone marrow transplant scheduled.
Arabella is local 2-year-old girl who was diagnosed with LRBA, a rare genetic disorder in March 2023. Soon, she will receive a bone marrow transplant, but the process will take multiple months and help from the community.
After receiving the bone marrow transplant, Arabella and her mom will be quarantined for multiple weeks, leaving her dad to care for her four siblings while she recovers.
Donate blood in honor of WSU’s Bob Grote
To help in supporting her family during this time, the Moose Lodge of Xenia will host a benefit for Arabella. The event starts at 3 p.m., located at 947 Cincinnati Avenue in Xenia.
Anyone interested in supporting Arabella on her journey is encouraged to attend.
The benefit is accepting donations in the form of monetary donations and donated items for raffle or auction. During the event, items will be part of a silent auction and raffle to raise money.
