Liam's Fight
Donation protected
April 2nd 2019 our whole world changed. Liam, our youngest was diagnosed with Pre- B ALL leukemia. Liam will face a long and hard fight over the next three years, possibly longer. As with all cancers Liam will receive lengthy bouts of chemotherapy along with other debilitating treatments that make him feel lousy.
Liam has always been a fighter. He is one of the sweetest little boys you will ever meet. Most people describe him as a sweet 90 year old man living in a child's body, just taking his time and enjoying life and all it has to offer. Even through all of the pokes and prods during this last month he still comes out with a giant smile on his face
Just a couple of days before that life altering morning we were made aware that our apartment had a mold infestation. We were in the process of getting medical letters from his regular provider to get re-homed to an alternate apartment while they were removing the mold from our then current one.
However with Liam's diagnosis our only choice was to relocate our family the same day of his inital release from the hospital.
Anyone who has moved knows how expensive and frustrating moving can be, not to add on the cleaning of any of the stuff we are trying to preserve so that it doesn't "contaminate" his new house.
We were lucky enough to have a small amount of taxes left to get us through some of the moving and hospital expenses over the last month.
Unfortunately those savings are quickly diminishing due to uncovered medical expenses, unpaid federal leave from work (to stay with Liam during his first month round of chemo), and daily expenses such as rent/gas/groceries aka necessities. Our rainy day fund wasn't accounting for a flood.
We have always managed to make it through, still living pay check to pay check. Our kids were always taken care of and whatever little we had left goes to their enjoyments in life.
Please help us make this journey a lesser burden.
If you are able to donate,
Thank you!
If you are not I ask that you please share this fund with as many people as you can to lend help.
The funds will be used toward:
*medical equipment not provided by insurance or hospital
*offset of a larger grocery bill. A common side effect of this treatment is a loss of appetite, change of taste, nausea, and vomiting, as well as constipation from some of the medicine.
So when he is able to keep food down it's very important that Liam ingest larger amounts of calories and a variety of nutrients on the days he is able to eat.
*travel expenses to and from appointments and hopefully not so many late night ER trips (Although traffic was a bit lighter it seems)
*coverage for missed work days when Liam is admitted for long stays
*comfort items for Liam!!
Hospital stays can be a long depressing experience for small children. We have started a small treasure bag for Liam to pick from on those particularly hard days. A small joy to help brighten his face through those pains no child should ever have to experience.
We love our children with everything we are, we are only asking you to kinda like one, just a little bit, if only for a moment, it could change your world...
I know every moment he is with us, he changes ours.
