Help Support Landen's Battle with Lymphoma

My name is Starla, and my baby brother is Landen Williams. He is 19 years old. As a baby, he came into this world with a heart murmur and VSD (no wall between the ventricular chambers in his heart). With surgery that saved his tiny little heart and several days of praying he could beat the odds, he did. He grew to become a bright, goofy, strong, brave young man despite all life has thrown at him, from losing his brother in an accident at a young age to his father just two years ago to cancer. Landen has struggled emotionally, and things just started looking up for him. He just started a good job with Trinity Rail Car, and he has a beautiful baby boy on the way in just 3 months. And then…

He spiked a fever late Wednesday night that he couldn’t keep down. After two ER visits, multiple tests, and blood work with no answers on what could be wrong, we received the devastating news Saturday morning, May 10th, 2025, that he has Lymphoma in multiple places throughout his body. It has left him and our family scared, fighting, praying, and financially worried. With his new job, he has no insurance, and with the cost of chemo needed and the inability for him to continue to work, it is going to be a struggle.

We ask for emotional support and help with funding for chemo and doctor visits so he can start this scary journey he has ahead and to once again beat the odds and live life to the fullest and longest a 19-year-old boy could hope for.

Anything helps, family and friends. We appreciate all the support, love, and prayers you show. Please help us keep up the good spirit and hopes for my baby brother to kick lymphoma and be okay!
