Sawyer is only 4 years old and has already fought harder than most people ever will.

After battling T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and reaching remission, her family received devastating news on Friday, 5/15: a lump recently tested on Sawyer’s leg showed cells indicating myeloid leukemia — not a relapse, but an entirely new cancer diagnosis.

Right now, there are still many unknowns. The family is waiting for a PET scan and for doctors to finalize a treatment plan. They’ve been told to prepare for at least a month of induction treatment and even more aggressive chemotherapy than Sawyer endured the first time.

If Sawyer can become cancer-free again, she will then face a bone marrow transplant and a much longer hospital stay.

This type of cancer is extremely rare in a child Sawyer’s age, and there is a possibility her care may need to be transferred to the Mayo Clinic or even out of state. Between extended hospital stays, travel, and time away from work, the financial burden on the family will be overwhelming.

There truly are no words for the heartbreak this family is facing as they prepare to help sweet Sawyer fight for her life once again.

If you are able to donate or share, it would mean more than words can express. Every contribution helps ease even a small part of the stress during this unimaginable time for the Pearson family.
