Help Luca Fight Leukemia at St. Jude in Memphis
Donation protected
We’ve created this GoFundMe to help us move from San Diego to Memphis so our son Luca can continue his fight against leukemia.
It feels strange to be here, so far from home, but this is where the next chapter of Luca’s story begins. Our joyful, tough 4-year-old has been battling a rare form of leukemia since May 2024. After more than 280 days in hospitals, multiple rounds of chemo, and even a clinical trial in Seattle, Luca has relapsed again.
Now we’re in Memphis at St. Jude, one of the best children’s hospitals in the world. Right now, we’re waiting for his body to get strong enough to qualify for the next treatment or trial. Being here means we’re ready to say “yes” the moment an option opens.
But to truly fight from here, we need to bring our home to Memphis. We need to cover the cost of moving Luca’s bed, toys, and books—because more than furniture, it’s about creating stability and a sense of home for him after so many months in hospitals.
Every bit helps us bridge that 1,800-mile gap and give Luca the comfort of a real home. If you can’t give, please share. Thank you for standing with us in this fight.
With love and gratitude,
Queila, Dustin & Luca
