Help 6 year old Julian fight leukemia!
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Mandi and I am fundraising for Julian and his family. Julian is a 6 year old student in my kindergarten class. He is a bright, active and fun kiddo who loves Spiderman and playing on his Nintendo Switch. Julian was having a very successful kindergarten year. On Tuesday, January 16th, 2024, Julian complained of a headache and nausea at school. I sent him home. He had a fever, nausea and lethargy off and on throughout the week. His parents took him to the emergency room on Sunday, January 21 ,2024. Julian was diagnosed with B- Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL), which is a blood and bone marrow cancer. He was immediately admitted to the hospital, had a port placed and began chemotherapy. In the few short weeks since this all began, Julian has endured many blood draws, lumbar punctures, a port placement, oral and intravenous chemotherapy. high doses of steroids, blood transfusions and many side effects from the treatments. His mom, Crystal, is with him at the Ronald McDonald House, 55 miles from their home. Julian's dad works two jobs and is taking care of Julian's sister, who is a freshman in high school.
This family needs help with a multitude of things right now. I am hoping to raise funds for Julian's needs (medical bills, prescription medications and other needed supplies) as well as gas cards for travel to where Julian is being treated, funds to cover lost work time for his parents to be with Julian as well as anything else this family may need during this difficult time. Julian is facing at least 3 years of treatment so this is a marathon rather than a sprint.
Julian and his family need support! Please help as much as you can! Thank you!
