Help Quincey Fight Childhood Cancer
Donation protected
Quincey Steorts just recently turned 6 years old. His parents were planning to celebrate his birthday this weekend surrounded by his friends when things took a turn for the worse. Quincey hasn't been feeling very well for a few months. He's struggled with a chronic cough, fatigue and other cold like symptoms for weeks. His parents continuously brought him to the doctors looking for answers as to why their sweet little boy wasn't seeming to get better. He would be prescribed different medications and sent home. In the last two weeks, his Mom (Erin) and Dad (Jesse) knew there was something more serious going on with Quincey. They took him back to the doctors and requested a chest x-ray. Unfortunately that is when what they thought was just a nasty cold, or pneumonia was actually a parent's worst nightmare. Erin was nervous as they awaited the results from the x-ray as she stated it seemed to "take a long time" for the doctors to come back into the room. That night, they received the shocking news that the x-ray showed a tumor/mass in Quincey's chest cavity in front of his lungs. A mass large enough to be blocking part of his airway as well. He was rushed to Barbara Bush Children's Hospital for more testing and immediate care. So far, it has been determined that the mass in his lung is in fact cancerous and his road to battling childhood cancer has begun. Quincey should be celebrating his birthday surrounded by his friends and family but instead he is in a hospital braving what's to come.
This journey will not only be challenging on him, but on his two other brothers and his parents as well. Erin and Jesse will be out of work for a while tending to the needs of Quincey in the hospital and the needs of their other boys Avery and Reece who are at home worried about their brother. There will be lots of unknown expenses to come for this family, so we are rallying together to help support them through this most difficult time! Please help us, help Quincey and the Steorts family fight this battle with childhood cancer!
