Hi, I'm Meredith, proud auntie of 17-year old Korri Smith, my brother Trevor's oldest child. On February 14, our family received devastating news when Korri was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), a blood and bone marrow cancer typically found in adults. Since their diagnosis, Korri has been an in-patient at Stanford hospital, being treated by the most supportive and incredible team of doctors, nurses, and specialists.

Honestly, Trevor and Katy have been hesitant to start a GoFundMe, and it took some convincing from us to get them going. They want to make sure one of them is always with Korri. The two of them spend long days and nights taking turns traveling from the hospital in Palo Alto, and to work and home so that they can keep the normal routine for their younger son Landon, a freshman and track star at Turlock High School.

Coming from Turlock, Gavin, Kirsten, and I know how generous this community is, and we are confident that we can raise a few dollars to help them cover medical expenses while they help Korri kick cancer's butt! The money we raise will not only help with medical expenses, but assist with travel and transportation costs for the family.

I appreciate you for taking the time to read our story, and thank you in advance for any support you can offer.
