KeagKicksCancer

Hi everyone, never in a million years did I think I would be creating this go fund me, but as we all know life can change in a blink of an eye. Please help my family and my sweet niece Keaghan in her fight against Leukemia.

Keaghan has always been your active happy 6 year old little girl. She loves swimming, playing golf with her daddy, and going on shopping trips to Target with her mommy. Around Thanksgiving time Keaghan developed a dry overnight cough and was not as hungry as she normally is (the girl can eat let me tell ya). On top of that she was coming home super tired and had no energy to play, which is not like her. The final symptom that she developed was complaining that her belly was hurting. On Monday my sister dropped Keaghan's little brother, Karysn off at preschool and decided to swing by the Urgent Care. That is when our lives completely changed. Keaghan was sent from Urgent Care to Chambersburg Hospital where they confirmed our biggest fear.. little Keaghan had Cancer. She was moved to Hershey's Children's Hospital that night and it was confirmed that she has Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia T-Cell (T-ALL).

As you can imagine our hearts are shattered. Unfortunately, this is not the first time we have went through something painful like this. In 2014, my sister was pregnant with her first baby girl, Kinley Sophia, and at 40 weeks 3 days our sweet girl lost her heartbeat. My sister had to go through a natural delivery hearing other babies cry around her knowing that her little girl would be born sleeping. It was absolutely devastating and I cannot even begin to tell you how strong my sister is. The following year, 2015 my sister broke the news to my family that she was pregnant again with her rainbow baby. That baby happened to be Miss Keaghan Lyn. She brought hope to my sister and on December 13th, 2015 she came out screaming showing us her little lungs worked. Bryan and Kaitland were over the moon and she has been so loved ever since.

Keaghan then was blessed with a baby brother who decided to come 6 weeks early on December 23rd, 2018. Bryan and Kaitland spent a couple weeks in the Nicu and Keaghan loved going to Hershey to see her little brother. They have grown such a close bond over the last couple years, with the occasional fights as siblings have. Often now you will hear Karsyn yelling "Keaggggg" from down the hall when he can't find her. A couple months ago we also learned that Karsyn has Autism 1 and my sister and Bryan have been doing everything possible to get him the help he needs to live his life as normal.

Hershey Hospital has found a treatment plan for Keaghan and are extremely hopeful for her future. However, we know we have a long fight ahead of us and many many hospital visits. It is so important for my sister and Bryan to take care of Keaghan in this new fight while not missing any appointments or therapy required for Karsyn. It really does take a village to raise a child let alone two and your support will help! My sister is too humble to ask for help even though she has helped so many families before her, so I am here to be her voice.

Please continue to send prayers and keep our family in your thoughts as we begin this new life.
