Smiles for Henry - support Henry battling cancer

Donation protected
Let’s put a smile on Henry’s face! In November of 2023 5 year old Henry was given the devastating diagnosis of ewings sarcoma (cancer in his leg bone). This has brought on numerous challenges. His family of 8 had to relocate from Vegas to Utah so he can receive treatment. Henry has bi-weekly hospitalizations for chemo treatments, labs every few days, and blood transfusions peppered in between hospital stays. Aside from all the treatments and “pokes”, Henry faces an upcoming amputation surgery to hopefully rid his body of the cancer. With heavy hearts he and his family are trying their very hardest to be brave and positive. We are so incredibly proud of them.

We can’t take away all the horrible things that come with childhood cancer, but we can try to make the good days great. We’ve set up this fund for those who want to help put a smile on Henry’s face. This fund will be used to cheer up Henry and his 5 siblings, to fill their emotional buckets. Henry is always smiling, making funny faces and cracking jokes that have everyone laughing all the time! Despite this experience Henry has kept to doing just that, we want to help keep that positivity alive! Any and every amount is graciously accepted, your love and support is felt deeply by the entire family.

Some specific ways your donation will be used: flying Henry’s dad and big brother from Vegas to salt lake, buying a power wheels car for Henry to ride in for the months after surgery when he can’t yet wear a prosthetic, a pass to the local children’s museum, legos for him to build when he’s hospitalized, door dash because hospital food gets old fast, thoughtful gifts for his siblings who have bravely uprooted their lives to move for Henry without a complaint, therapy, prosthetics, and much much more. ❤️
