Help Lukas Beat Leukemia and Heart Failure

Donation protected
The Settecase family's son Lukas was diagnosed with leukemia at 10 months in the summer of 2015.  After a couple years of treatments, Lukas completed what they thought to be his last round of chemotherapy treatments.  He walked through Lurie Children’s Hospital & rang the bell to signify this momentous day.  Within a couple months, the family's worst fears came true - Lukas relapsed & the leukemia returned.  With just 6 months remaining in his chemo, Lukas contracted a virus in his heart which led to his heart stopping twice almost causing him to die. Now they are going to have to put in a permanent pacemaker which will have a lot of long ongoing treatment.  Also they still haven't figured out what is happening with his heart so there will be continued tests and procedures. In addition, Lukas still has to undergo the rest of his chemo treatment.

As you can imagine, they have a lot of hospital expenses, medical treatments and medication they need to pay for.  As a young family with 4 children, any support would be greatly appreciated.  

The family remains positive and is trusting God to carry them through this difficult time. Please keep Joel, Aliza & their family in your prayers #PrayForLukas
