Help Adelaide Overcome Childhood Cancer

Dear family, friends and kind strangers,

 

We are writing on behalf of the family of Adelaide Bay Coderre. Adelaide is 8 years old and lives with her parents, Keegan and Kelly, and her younger brother Hudson in northeastern Connecticut.

 

Adelaide is known for having a kind spirit, her silly sense of humor, and the great joy she takes in her friendships. She is an enthusiastic student and would like to be a teacher someday like her daddy and grandmother. She loves to play sports, including softball and soccer. She is a huge fan of the Liverpool soccer team and passionately cheers them on with her family!

 

Adelaide was just beginning the third grade when doctors found a fast growing tumor. She was diagnosed with a form of cancer known as Rhabdomyosarcoma. She has recently begun a year long treatment involving chemotherapy, radiation and eventually surgery at Boston Children's Hospital. Not all of the medical care she requires is covered by insurance. We are raising money to help cover her medical costs and to allow her parents to be with her while she undergoes treatment. We hope to ease the financial burden for this family and allow them to be together to support Adelaide in her healing.

 

We believe that when communities come together it can be very powerful. Please join us in lifting up this family and extending generosity in their time of need.

 

If you feel moved, please send love and prayers to Adelaide Bay and her family. We offer each of you our deep and sincere gratitude.

As Adelaide is a minor, Kathi Dumaine-Savage (her grandmother), has been assigned as beneficiary of the funds for this campaign.  Kathi, as trustee, has set up a bank account in Adelaide's name.  All funds donated are going to that account and will be used solely for the purpose of Adelaide's care and treatment.
