Baby Penelope’s Courageous Fight Against Leukemia

Hi, I’m Allie and I am a very close friend to Caroline. I am starting this page so we can support Caroline, Drew, Jack and Baby Penelope during this extremely difficult time. Baby Penelope was recently diagnosed with ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia - cancer of the blood) at only the age of one month old. No parent, no family and most certainly no baby should ever have to go through something like this. It’s going to be extremely hard on this most perfect family and a very long road ahead. They need our help so they can focus on Baby P. They should not have to worry about a single bill on something that shouldn’t even be a thing. Donations will go towards that, food, and anything that they need during this nightmare they are now living in. Most importantly they need support and prayers. They most certainly have an army of support out there who is praying, giving love, and doing everything they can but it’s time for us to come together and physically show it! Nothing will take there pain away, but we can help carry it and show them the amount of support and love they have. They are so deserving and sweet baby P deserves a miracle. They need each other more than ever, and they now need OUR help more than ever. Anything will help and be much appreciated. It’s our time to show up and shine our lights during this darkness. We need to be their light.

UPDATE: They have moved treatment to California under the amazing Dr. Gruber. She specializes in P's diagnosis and is providing the best treatment to get her well and home! They will be there for the next 6 months. It was an extremely hard decision packing up their life and moving across the country away from family, but a "easy" one to get her the care she deserves. They did this knowing she is getting the very best care and will be bringing that sweet baby home better than ever. So, please if you can, continue to help lift them up in spirit and love and consider helping them in any way that you can.

Thank you all for being here and supporting the Childs’ family. It’s hard on everyone around and I’m praying so hard. With the army this family has, we will get each other through this. Baby Penelope is a fighter, A WARRIOR! #TeamPennyLou #NellieStrong #SweetBabyP
