My 12-year-old brother, Korbin, is facing leukemia for the second time. He was first diagnosed at age 7, and after years of treatment, he went into remission at 9. On October 13, 2023, he rang the bell to celebrate finishing treatment—a moment our family will never forget. We were so grateful for his recovery, but last week we received the heartbreaking news that he has relapsed.

Now, Korbin needs to be at the Arthur M. Blank Children’s Hospital of Atlanta for intense treatment, including a bone marrow transplant. The search for a donor is underway, and treatment will take several months. At this time, we are unsure how long he will need to remain in the hospital.

This situation has turned our world upside down. My mom has always been by Korbin’s side, and with this extended hospital stay, there will be times she won’t be able to work. We’re worried about keeping up with travel, food, and household expenses while making sure my mom can stay with Korbin when he needs her most.

We’re reaching out for help from our community. Your support—whether it’s a donation, a prayer, or simply sharing our story—means everything to us. You can also follow Korbin’s journey and receive updates on Facebook at Karing for Korbin. Thank you in advance for standing with our family and helping us stay strong for Korbin as he fights leukemia once again.
