Jaylen’s Fight Against Leukemia

Welcome! My name is Brianna and I created this GoFundMe for my nephew, Jaylen. Jaylen is 4.5 years old and has a smile that will light up the room. He loves to sing “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” swimming, playing video games, and helping care for his baby sister Kaiya (1).

On August 28, 2022, his parents noticed he had some unusual bruising and took him to the ER. After a long 2 nights in the hospital, he was officially diagnosed today, August 30, with B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). His treatment is expected to take 2.5 years to complete - well into his 1st grade year of school.

Jaylen had his first dose of chemotherapy yesterday, and is expected to remain in the hospital through the end of next week. He'll be unable to go anywhere and will have extremely limited visitors for at least 6 months while he isolates within his home due to being immunocompromised.

Please help by sharing this page or considering donating. All funds will be turned over directly to my brother, Tanner, and his fiancé, Saya, to pay for Jaylen’s chemotherapy, doctor’s appointments, hospital stays, etc. These funds will also go towards helping them supplement their missing income while caring for their son.

From Tanner and Saya - “Thank you all for you love and support, we truly appreciate it.”
