Isola and her family were hit with news that turned their world upside down. Isola, a vibrant and loving 5 year old, was diagnosed with Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia (JMML), a rare and aggressive form of childhood leukemia. This diagnosis not only shook the family to its core but also ignited a fierce battle for survival and hope.
For Isola and her family, life had been a whirlwind of joyous chaos before JMML entered their lives. With four young children filling their home with laughter and mischief, every day was an adventure. But when Isola received her diagnosis, the world seemed to stand still. Thoughts of uncertainty and fear crept into their once blissful existence, threatening to overshadow the love and happiness they once knew.
Davonte was the epitome of joy, his infectious smile touching the hearts of all who knew him. But fate had a different plan for this young soul.
Davonte's world turned upside down when he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. His single mother felt as though the ground had been ripped from beneath her feet. Fear and uncertainty loomed over their lives like a dark cloud, threatening to suffocate their hope.
A family faced a challenge that would test their strength and resilience in ways they never imagined. Kenan, a bright-eyed 10-year-old boy with a contagious smile, was diagnosed with Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma of the nasopharynx—a rare and aggressive form of cancer that threatened to shatter their world.
In the heart of every family lies an unbreakable bond, a bond tested to its limits when faced with adversity. Levi's family knows this all too well, as they embarked on an emotional rollercoaster when their precious son was diagnosed with Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor (ATRT), a rare and aggressive brain tumor, at just 9 months old. Their journey of resilience, hope, and community support serves as a beacon of light amidst the darkness of uncertainty.

November 1, 2022, the day baby Roy's family heard the term "Bilateral Wilms Tumors" from their doctor. The diagnosis came just two and a half months after his first birthday. Wilms tumor (or nephroblastoma) is a type of childhood cancer that starts in the kidneys.
Dad is working as much as he can, Mom has exhausted her paid time off, and her job requested her resignation because she took too much time off.
Roy will have surgery soon, which means dad will have to take some time off of work to be there...The family wants to focus on their baby and his recovery, but the bills keep coming, adding stress to an already stressful situation.
Cancer is a disease that can take 12-36 months of treatment (or more)
Chemotherapy for weeks, radiation treatments for weeks, surgery, and possibly more chemo/radiation. While there are small breaks in-between, something like a fever can lead to the need for a blood transfusion, delaying treatments.
Camila was 5 years old when her mom heard the diagnosis of "Pre B-ALL"...an aggressive form of leukemia.
It was December 2021 when this single mother received the news that would further change her family's lives. Things were difficult enough as a single mom, but then, a cancer diagnosis...an aggressive form of cancer. Being the sole provider and primary caregiver at bedside, it has become very difficult for the family to cover household expenses since mom is not working. Bills that were manageable before, became overwhelming. Housing payments, electricity and phone bills have taken a backseat to pay for medical bills and prescriptions...the things her daughter NEEDS to survive.
