On NYD 2020 my life became a st. judes commercial ... “your child has cancer is some of the worst news a parent can hear. Death was knocking at his little door Christmas 2019.
1/3 years of chemo is complete, but the road ahead has started. Imagine having to sit on your child 2x/week to get a an inch long needle pushed u to his chest, knowing it will make him horribly sick for the next few days... until it’s treatment day again.
His cries, & pleas as he begs us to make the dr stop hurting him are unimaginable. When your child falls down, you want to pick them, kiss their boo-boos, & wipe away all their baby tears. I can’t kiss cancer away. No matter how many times I tell him “it’ll be okay”, a part of me is having trouble convincing myself that everything will be okay.
He has a lifetime of dreams to bring to the world, but first he needs the world to find a cure. Please help us make all his “chemo bucket list” dreams come true. 4 year old should be running around outside, getting dirty, making new friends, exploring, & adventuring, instead Kaines life includes spikey needles, throw up bin, IV fluids, harsh chemo meds, constant poking & prodding, zero bodily autonomy, & all alone while being Covid safe.
National children’s cancer society says the average 3 year cancer treatment costs about $850,000. No parent is prepared to hear that their child has cancer, nor are we ever prepared for the large costs that come with trying to keep our children alive. Please help us to keep Kaine with us as long as possible. We can’t do it alone.
