Payton's Fight Against Leukemia
Donation protected
My nephew, Payton Davis, was diagnosed with leukemia on February 9th after being taken to the hospital for a fever. At only 11years old, his life changed forever.
He is an incredibly strong kid, keeping a smile on his face despite the symptoms of this debilitating cancer. We as his family have to stay strong for him as well, but it is definitely a challenge. My sister Cerita (Payton's mom) is doing all that she can physically do to keep it all together and get Payton and her other 3 children through these trying times. However, I realize that we need help. I am trying to provide as much support as I can muster for my family. But, as the saying goes, 'when it rains it pours'. Cerita is struggling, having to balance working overtime and spending days in the hospital with Payton for his chemotherapy treatments. They have been denied food stamps by the state of Lousiana. We have come before you all to ask for any assistance you can give.
Any donations will be used for medical treatment and living expenses. Anything you do for my family would be GREATLY appreciated. Even if you can't afford to donate, please share this with your friends and family if you are able.
Family means everything to me. These times are hard, especially for Payton, who is going through something nobody, much less any child, should have to experience. His twin brother Donovan is devestated, noticing the changes. His sisters chip in and help every way they can. His mom (my sister Cerita) is an amazingly strong woman giving 110%, but I can see her pain. I hate to feel so helpless throughout this situation. I wish there was more I could do for them. All I can do is ask for your love, generosity, and prayers. I cannot explain in words how much your support means to me. Payton, as well as all of us in the Davis family, thank you for helping Payton WIN THIS FIGHT!
This is a heartbreaking letter that Payton's twin brother, Donovan, wrote to him since his leukemia diagnosis and chemo treatment.
