On May 11th, 2026, my 4-year-old son was diagnosed with retinoblastoma. Since then, our lives have been turned upside down as we travel three hours to Philadelphia twice a week for his treatments and check ups. I am a stay-at-home mom, and my husband is the sole provider for our family. The constant traveling, medical appointments and related expenses have put us in a difficult financial situation.

We are facing costs for turnpike tolls, Philadelphia parking fees, three different hospital parking fees, gas, and hotel stays for after his chemotherapy appointments. On top of that, the wear and tear on our car from all the traveling has caused several problems that need to be fixed, adding even more expenses. All of this is happening while we try to keep up with our rent, bills, and other necessities.

I am not the type to ask for help, but we truly need it right now. I have no one else to turn to, and any support would mean the world to us. Donations will go directly towards travel, car repairs, parking fees, gas, bills and hotel stays, it will also help us to focus on my son's treatment and well-being.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
