GTH has already endured more in his 15 years of life than most face in a lifetime. At just 13
years old — almost two years ago — he underwent an amputation, and since then he has continued to battle through physical, often unbearable pain along with the emotional turmoil and trauma that come with this wicked, aggressive cancer.
And yet, his spirit remains unbroken. He continues to fight with courage and determination.
Looking ahead, he hopes to be part of discovering ways to ease the pain associated with this
wicked cancer — and, one day, to help see it eradicated entirely.

Now, he faces the most difficult challenge yet: specialized medical treatments that are critical for his care but not covered by insurance. The costs are staggering, and while we were able to place the first several treatments on credit cards, we cannot continue this way. The financial burden is simply too great.
We have to act quicker than this cancer is able to spread. Every donation helps us stay one
step ahead and keep GTH’s treatments going without delay.
Your donation will directly support:
• Medical treatment expenses not covered by insurance (the greatest need)
• Travel to and from medical facilities
• Lodging when overnight stays are required
Closing & Gratitude
Every gift — large or small — makes a difference. By donating or sharing, you’re not only
helping cover the costs of treatment, you’re also standing with GTH and showing him that he is not alone in this fight.
One thing GTH has made clear: he does not want pity or for people to feel sad for him — that, too, is unbearable. If you know him, please do not treat him differently or with pity, but see him as the warrior he truly is. He would also prefer that his closest peers not know the details of what he is going through, so we ask for respect and discretion in how this is shared.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your love, your prayers, and your support.
