Support JR's fight against Leukemia

Donation protected
Support JR's fight against leukemia.

Our sweet JR has just been diagnosed with T-Cell ALL Leukemia. There are no words to describe receiving news like this. At 10 years old, he is facing an incredibly difficult battle and our family is doing everything we can to stand by his side during every step. JR's prognosis is good, but it will be a long road. He will undergo intensive chemotherapy over the next 6-8 months.

Casey is a single mom of two and a self-employed hairdresser. She has always worked very hard to provide for her family. She is now unable to work and has no paid time off. We are asking for your help so she can focus entirely on being there for JR (and his little sister Olivia) during this challenging time.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in JR's journey toward recovery. Your generosity will help Casey focus on what matters most right now, which is getting JR better. Donations will go towards medical bills, travel to and from the hospital, food and living expenses.

In addition to financial support, we welcome messages of encouragement and many prayers for our family. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for showing up for this amazing BRAVE little boy and his family. We will get JR through this one day at a time.

With Love,
JR's Family
