Our beautiful and strong 16-year-old niece Ruby has recently been diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma, a blood cancer that affects her lymphatic system.

Her world — and ours — changed in an instant. She’s already begun chemotherapy, and she is facing this battle with such courage and grace.

Ruby is surrounded by love — especially from her amazing parents, who are doing everything in their power to care for her and stay strong as a family. As you can imagine, this journey is not just emotionally overwhelming, but financially and logistically challenging as well. Ruby’s mom is self-employed, and stepping away from work to care for Ruby means a significant loss of income — at a time when they need support the most.
