Hi my name is Angie my partner is Sean and our babies are Rohan and Shiloh. We are fundraising for our newborn Shiloh.
Sean was born with Retinoblastoma a rare and malignant cancer that develops in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue in the eye. We always knew there would be a chance our boys could be born this but with high hopes that the risks would be low to none. Our first born was in the clear which gave us relief and had hope our new born Shiloh would be the same. At two weeks old we found out this was not the case. He was diagnosed with cancer in both eyes. The news was devastating. Sean has unfortunately been through this with his previous son before and it breaks my heart he has to relive this once more. I do not know what to expect but I know it's something no parent wants to see their child go through.
Our Doctor wasted no time jumping into action to begin preparations for treatment.
We live in Edmonton Alberta and are being flown over to Toronto where the top medical team is to treat this cancer is. Time has not been wasted on preparations in flights, appointments and accommodations. Because of the haste accommodation are working quick to have us stay somewhere affordable but we may have to find hotel in downtown Toronto close to the hospital, we have found is quite expensive. With everything kicking into gear so quickly we have done our best to organize our finances but are not sure what we will have enough for including future travel to continue treatment.
All we are asking is for a little help from our friends and family, in hope that we can payback or pay it forward one day. We also ask for your prayers and positive vibes for our little one.
