James Blackowl Medical Expenses

James Story

Our nephew James is a sweet little boy who loves to pick flowers.  He’s an energetic 4-year-old who’s known for his humor and is beloved by all of his family. He loves Batman as much as he loves his parents and big sister. 

Last week our family received the devastating news that James was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.  Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a very treatable form of cancer that attacks the lymphatic system in the body. 

James had been sick on and off since early 2018, and had concerning lumps in his neck.  His doctors weren’t worried at that time, but his mom knew something was wrong.  She could not give up and continued to advocate for James. 

A biopsy finally gave the specific diagnoses, and now we are springing into action.  James has already undergone 2 surgeries and will begin his chemotherapy treatment on July 16.  The doctors expect anywhere from four to six rounds of chemotherapy. We have complete faith that the treatment will be successful and James will have a full recovery, but the road ahead will be long and difficult.

This process will not only be extremely hard for James, but his parents as well.  The situation is urgent, and the out of pocket expenses will be overwhelming.  His mom and dad are focusing all of their time and energy into getting James well and ensuring that he gets the best possible care and treatment.  During this difficult time, they will be unable to work full-time to support their family.  We are working to raise $8000 to help James and his family.  The funds will cover medical bills, housing, meals, and other unplanned expenses and necessities that arise during this time. 

We're also reaching out to friends, family, and people who feel prompted to please pray for James, his parents, his big sister, and all the doctors and others involved in his treatment and recovery. 

We are completely brokenhearted that our treasured nephew has to suffer through treatment and fight cancer.  No child should have to face such a harrowing experience at such a young age, but we know James will recover and be back to his old self in no time.  While we can’t fight this cancer for James, we can rally together to ease the immense financial stress this puts on his parents to ensure he has everything he needs throughout this process.  We are incredibly grateful for your help, support and prayers and will continue to update this page with James’ recovery progress.
