Our beautiful son Deklan, who is just 14 years old, has recently been diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma, a life-changing reality no family is ever prepared for. Deklan is facing an intensive treatment plan that will involve approximately two and a half years of chemotherapy, turning his world—and ours—upside down. What was once a normal life filled with school, friends, and everyday moments has become a journey of hospital stays, treatments, and uncertainty. Despite it all, Deklan continues to show remarkable courage, strength, and resilience that inspires everyone around him.

We are a family of nine, with six other children, and this journey places an emotional and financial strain on our entire household. This GoFundMe has been created to help relieve some of that pressure so we can focus on supporting Deklan through his treatment while continuing to care for our other children. Medical expenses, travel, time away from work, and daily living costs quickly add up during long-term treatment. Any contribution, no matter the size, or even sharing our story, means more than we can ever express. Thank you for standing with our family, for your kindness, and for helping us support Deklan as he bravely fights this battle.
