First thank you for reading this. This is a story of how 3 children became friends in very dire circumstances. We are from a small town in Missouri, Farmington. This is a small community. These three children are all band students and enjoy music. They were all excited to learn new music and to start the next step in their musical careers. They were very excited about marching band this year. Unfortunately they started getting sick, cancer struck all three of them. They love their band family and community. Trevor, Deayvnn, and Ryan. They are all about the same age 15-16 years old. Ryan has colon/ stomach cancer, Daevynn has sinus cancer and Trevor has stage 4 brain cancer. Although they are going through chemotherapy; they still try to go to school and play in the marching band. They have lost their hair, have bouts of nausea, lost weight and at times can barely walk. Given this, they are strong in spirit and full of love. Their families are not only burdened with the thought of their children being sick and suffering; but their medical bills and expenses are piling up quickly. They make trips back and forth to St. Louis to see doctors and to have aggressive treatments; the gas alone is a huge obstacle. What is so amazing, is they fight with all they have to go to school and to be able just to march with the band. I am reaching out to other bands, colleges, musicians, parents and anyone who has been affected by cancer. Our hearts break for these 3 children and their families. I am starting this page to see if we can get donations. Even $1.00 is greatly appreciated. We are setting a big goal because we have three in our band family that we are dividing this money between. If you can help in anyway; even just prayers. These children would be so thankful. All that these kids want to do is to have the opportunity to grow up, experience the "firsts", in life, play music, go to college and maybe one day have families of their own.
Thank you.
