Mason's fight

Donation protected
On January 7th, 2020, 5 year old Mason was diagnosed with acute b-cell lymphoblastic leukemia.  This sweet, happy boy's health had been declining since November, but with every different diagnoses he was given, his health never seemed to improve.  Once blood work was completed and reviewed on January 7th, he was quickly taken to the Children's Hospital of Illinois in Peoria, where he was then diagnosed with leukemia.  Since that day, Mason's life and his family's life has completely changed.  

Mason's treatment began quickly, and everyone was hopeful for its success.  The treatment plan for leukemia is a lengthy one, however to have a diagnoses and treatment plan, the family was looking towards moving forward with their "new" life.   Little did they know that Mason would encounter some major set backs, as his body has struggled to handle the chemotherapy.  The side affects from the chemotherapy are now taking a larger tole on his health than the leukemia.  His body has taken the chemotherapy as a parasite or a poison and it is causing his body to shut down.

Mason has been supported by his wonderful parents, however they are struggling to not only take care of Mason, but the rest of his family as well.  Mason has an older brother and a younger brother.  He is also expecting his baby sister to arrive in early March!  As a pregnant mommy, Mason's mom has been by his side since the beginning.  Mason's dad is trying to work when he can,  but has also had to take a lot of time off of work to care for his other two children and to make visits to Mason. 

The financial struggle of caring for a sick child, not being able to work, and caring for Mason's brothers and the new baby sister on the way, has taken a financial tole on the family.  Their primary concern right now needs to be Mason and his recovery.  If you could be so generous to not only support this family with your thoughts and prayers, but financially as well, that would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance for your help!
