My name is Diamond, and I’m the proud mom of an amazing boy named Kaden. In 2018, Kaden was diagnosed with Astrocytoma Glioma, a rare form of brain cancer. Since then, he has shown incredible strength and courage, undergoing 14 brain surgeries and 2 years of chemotherapy.

After being chemo-free for over 5 years, we were heartbroken to learn that Kaden’s recent MRI on October 2nd, 2025, showed tumor regrowth and spread, which doctors have described as moderately worse. This means we are once again facing the unthinkable — another battle with brain cancer.

Kaden will soon begin brain and spine radiation five days a week. This next phase of treatment will be tough on his body, and he will need full-time care, comfort, and support through it all.

As a single parent, I am stepping away from work and reducing my hours to focus fully on Kaden’s care and appointments. The funds raised will help us stay stable and supported during this time.

Your donations will go toward:

• Maintaining our household while I care for Kaden full-time

• Uncovered medical costs and co-pays

• Therapeutic and comfort needs, including items from Kaden’s wish list — cozy blankets, gaming accessories, favorite snacks, room décor, and small experiences that bring him joy

• Making Kaden’s upcoming birthday (first week of November) extra special, so he can celebrate surrounded by love, laughter, and happiness

I am also in the process of opening a P.O. Box for Kaden, where anyone who wishes can send cards, drawings, or letters of encouragement. My son has been completely devastated by this news. He’s lost some of his spark, and I’m hoping that love from kind hearts near and far will help lift him up again. Every word of support helps remind him that he’s not alone in this fight.

Kaden is the light of my life. He is funny, brave, and endlessly kind. He loves to make people smile and has a heart bigger than anyone I know. My greatest wish is to keep him comfortable, supported, and surrounded by love during this journey.

Thank you to everyone who donates, prays, shares, or simply sends love our way. Your kindness means more than words can ever express.

With gratitude,

Diamond, Kaden, and Kingsten
