My name is Sharon Jorgensen. 6 days ago, my grandson, Liam Altreche was diagnosed with Leukemia. Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He is 12 years old. His mother, my daughter Briana, is a single mom. Her insurance, through her work, will not cover all of his medical expenses.

We cannot help much. Retired, fixed income. His father isn’t in the picture. He was abusive to both my daughter and to Liam. He is her only child.

Liam started Chemotherapy on Thursday. He is such a sweet, funny kid. He comes in my room and puts on my hats. Decorated with flowers. He looks so funny. He helps us with thins we are no longer able to do, lifting things, carrying in groceries, Such a good kid.
