Hello, my name is Hender Boscan and this is my history. Life is a fully surprising travel. My wife Rubiana and I Knew that when last march, our 6 Years old son was diagnosed with cancer: a rhabdomyosarcoma.
His case is so rare at his age, there are only few in medical history. Our world was devastated when we listened his diagnosis and for worst, there are not any chance to treat or even cure him in our country. For that reason we travelled to USA, leaving behind our life, our family, our friends, our work and even our youngest son, trying to find a hope for Hender.
Hender was a smart, playful and very friendly boy. He was one of the best of his first grade class, he likes math and plays video games, but just like that, all his world collapses too. He had to left his school, his friends, his family and all the things that are normal at his age because cancer.
Just one night, Hender could not make pee. After that, an unexplainable feeling of fear, desperation and sadness surrounded our family. Immediately, we start to find the reasons for that, and Hender pass thru few days of incredible pain and terror in a hospital in our country, venezuela. He was diagnosed with a rhabdomyosarcoma, a solid tumor type between prostate and bladder. That terrible facts forced us to find a hospital in USA. Fortunately, St Jude Children's Research Hospital admits Hender in a very quick time due his rare cancer type. This hospital gave us an incredible hope and became a light in the darkness.
We have been there since march 14 , 2015. Little Hender has been fighting cancer with many hours of Chemotherapy and Proton Beam Radiotherapy since that date.
Our family life goes on. Every day it's a new battle against time and cancer. Is well known that St Jude gave us an enormuos support with Hender's treatment but beside his treatment, we have many needs that are out of reach of the hospital. We can't legally work here right now and we have to pay for anything that is out of Hender's treatment, that includes, dad and brothers needs as food, school, transportation and some clothes especially for winter season. Our money worths nothing here, and he has a very long treatment ahead.
Our goal is to heal hender, and let him grow up with his family, and for us, keep him with us until God's will. At this time we are hoping for your help to support us and let Hender ends successfully his treatment.
Our tremendous faith and science are the weapons we have been using to fight his illness. Nothing compares with the feeling of knowing that your son's precious life could end just in the beginning of his days.
Thank you for your precious time.
Sincerely
Dad
