The Braden Prater Fight Leukemia Fund

Hello friends and family.   6 year-old Braden Prater was diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and is currently admitted at RadyChildren’s Hospital San Diego. Braden is in the HematologyOncology Unit, where he is undergoing intense chemotherapy treatment.  He is expected to be hospitalized for the next 4-6 weeks for his initial treatment plan. The goal is for Braden to be cancer- free in 30 days.  Braden is expected to receive chemotherapy treatments over the next three years in order to beat his cancer and ward off any relapses.

Braden lives in Point Loma, San Diego and is a first grader at Sunset View Elementary.  Braden has played baseball with Point Loma Little League for the past two seasons and is looking forward to returning soon.  All proceeds will go to medical expenses and Braden’s needs over the course of his treatment.

This diagnosis came as a shock as Braden has been feeling healthy.  Deep bruises popped up overnight up and down his legs and arms, prompting an immediate visit to the emergency room Sunday evening, January 31st, 2021.  Blood tests were taken, revealing the devastating reality. Braden’s journey back to health will be especially challenging given Braden’s additional Autism diagnosis at age 3. Braden has been receiving speech, occupational therapy and ABA (Applied Behavioral Analyst) services.  Braden is an adventurous little boy who loves spending time with his family, camping, swinging on his swing set, riding bikes, skateboarding, swimming, playing with his endless supply of cruise and Titanic ships and playing Robloxwith his 7 year-old sister (Olivia) and his friends. Braden’s golden hair and charm lights up any room. Braden has a beautiful soul and his big smile can melt anyone’s heart. Please pray for Braden.
