William’s Warriors (William Avery)
Donation protected
Hi there! I’m Auntie Kathy and on behalf of our family, thank you for taking the time to support our sweet William Avery and his war against Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Will is 17 and is the youngest of the four kiddos for Kurt (my brother) and Holly (my sister-in-law). He is also the youngest grandchild in our family, thus earning him the nickname of “the caboose”. You cannot help but to smile when you see him smile. He is kind and beyond loyal to his family and friends. He was recently named the new captain of the varsity football team for his upcoming senior year (2022-2023). He is passionate about a good workout and a healthy lifestyle.
On April 29th, he had a typical day in the life of a high school student… which included the completion of his first week of spring training for football at Cy Falls High School and attending his girlfriend's end of year swim banquet. On Saturday, he woke up not feeling well with a high fever. Kurt and Holly made the decision to head to urgent care after attempts to manage the fever were unsuccessful. The family was then referred to the ER where Will was diagnosed with pneumonia and low platelet and red blood cell counts. He was transferred by ambulance to Texas Children's Hospital in downtown Houston. As the sun came up in Houston on that Sunday morning…the doctors shared that the multiple blood tests and symptoms indicated leukemia.
And just like that, leukemia made an unwanted and unexpected crash landing in Will’s world. By May 2nd, the doctors identified this unwelcome intruder as Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), an aggressive and rare blood cancer. His journey with AML will require months of chemo and months of hospitalization. He will need his parents to be able to be by his side for this fight. My hope in creating this Go Fund Me is to limit the financial challenges as they fight for and alongside William.
Will is strong, both physically and mentally, and he will win this battle. He will not fight alone… he is blessed and surrounded by a loving family and amazing friends… and together we are WILL’s WARRIORS!
If you find it in your heart, please consider supporting Will and his family on this journey. Thank you for taking the time to read about Will and our family.
