The London family is such an inspiring family. They have been so faithful to trust in the Lord throughout the journey BJ has been on . Almost a year ago BJ went into ICU and has been fighting for his life . Mona, his mom has juggled being at the hospital, raising and caring for three other children and has been an incredible wife to her husband Gary . The weight of finances has been difficult but has still not kept them from doing all they can to advocate for BJ and be present with him throughout his extensive stay in ICU. BJ is currently in a coma unresponsive. The London family could really use your prayers as well as any help financially anyone would feel lead yo give.
We know the Lord is carrying BJ and this family! Will you help in being a vessel that gives them some financial relief as they navigate the waters of the days ahead .

The London family would like to thank you for your continued support and prayers for their family. BJ has been in ICU for almost 4 months. He is responsive and aware of the people around him and able to communicate with them, but his body is failing him.
The family could use your prayers and support to help them with gas, toll bills and day to day living expenses. Mona is an Incredible mom who gives her undivided attention and care to all four of her children. Due to the amount of time Bj has been in ICU the family is in need of financial support. As a mother, the worry of having to choose to be with your child or go to work would be a choice I wouldn’t want anyone to encounter. Financial expenses are creating worry and concern for the family while they are still caring for their family. Please consider giving to help this family . Lifting the financial burden would be a tremendous blessing for this family.
Mona wanted me to add this,
“ Thank you! Before anything is given, we as a family would like to thank everyone for their amazing and valuable time praying for our family while we stick together and figure out what’s next without knowing what’s next……..”
She also wants each of us to know that caring for her family is a blessing and not a burden. ❤️❤️
Hello friends, family and all who love to come alongside others in need. My name is Sissy Hardcastle and I am helping a sweet mother, Mona, prepare for her son’s celebration of life. Though he is currently still here, that day is soon approaching.
Mona’s son, BJ, went in for a surgery in 2020 to remove a mass from his spine. Unfortunately, two days later, they were told that BJ had stage 4 terminal cancer ( H3.K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma Malignant neoplasm of brain stage 4). Mona London and her family have endured the unthinkable and fought alongside BJ for over a year now.
Despite the battles he is facing, BJ has continued to bring a smile to those around him. He was able to attend school throughout this challenging time. Though he was told he likely wouldn’t make it this far, he recently celebrated his 14th birthday with family and friends.
Currently the cancer is taking its toll on his body. He is in hospice and their goal is to manage his pain and keep him as comfortable as possible. He is still fighting even in these last days.
The family undoubtedly has many hardships ahead and we do not want finances to be one of them. Our desire is to cover the cost of the funeral upfront so that the family can focus on spending time BJ without any added stress. I ask that you prayerfully consider blessing this family financially and also be in prayer for each of them. Pray that these days with BJ will be sweet and covered in the peace of God. Thank you for your support,
Love Sissy.
