Hi, my name is Tanya Place-Hommes.
I am a wife, mom, cancer survivor of 3+ years.
My husband, Brian, and I have a successful home business that we love and it also allows us to work around our children's schedules.Visit our candle business website: www.BurningBrite.com

This is a picture of me 100 days following my bone marrow transplant (June 2004).
My husband, Brian, and I have 2 beautiful children. Our daughter, Isabella, is 6 years old and our son, Carson, has just turned 4. I was an elementary teacher for almost 10 years before I became a stay at home mom. You see, I always wanted to be a stay-at-home mom; however my vision of how I was going to achieve this wasn't crystal clear. Have you heard the song: be careful what you wish for because you just might get it all... well my wish did come true but not like one of those fairy tale dreams.
Let me explain: I had a great job, a wonderful family and life was pretty good. Two and a half months after Carson was born I was diagnosed with Mylodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) which is a pre-leukemia. This pre-cancer of the blood required immediate treatment before it turned into leukemia. I was numb. I was a healthy, active, young woman with 2 small children and a wonderful husband.
How could this be happening?
The only quick and successful cure for this illness, before it turned into leukemia, was a bone marrow/stem cell transplant and I was extremely blessed to be able to have my twin brother be my donor.
Unfortunately, I had to move 2 hours away from my husband, 2 children, family, and friends for approximately 4 months so I have the stem cells transplant.
So now the big concerns were how were we going to pay all these bills and also the apartment I had to stay in. The answer: A Fundraiser with Gourmet Candles by my husband's sister. She ran a very successful fundraiser for us to help us with the medical expenses. It is because of her successful fundraiser with these gourmet candles that we decided to follow in her shoes, have her as our sponsor and mentor, and have our own home business.
The company is located in Wilkes-Barre, PA and we travel there each summer to visit the factory and to speak at the National Candle Convention held at the Woodlands Resort.We are well on our way to the top of the company and received the "Rising Star" award in this year, July 2008.

My husband, Brian, for his love, support and always being there for me through all of these difficult times we have and continue to face. He's a wonderful husband and father!
My twin brother, Todd! He was my stem cell tranplant donor. It is because of him that I am still here to enjoy my children, family and friends, and my life.
My Mom! She was my primary caregiver and stayed with me every day to make sure I was okay. I can only imagine how difficult it was for her to watch her only daughter go through what I went through and have all that pressure on her shoulders to make sure I was recovering. I love you mom! Thanks for all you did and continue to do!
