In August, my son was diagnosed with T-cell ALL leukemia, and since then, our lives have changed completely. We have been under treatment at Seattle Children’s Hospital, facing each day with hope and determination. The journey has been incredibly tough, not only for my son but for our entire family. Every hospital visit, every procedure, and every moment of uncertainty has tested our strength and resilience. Watching my child go through this has been the hardest experience of my life, and it’s something no parent should ever have to face.

As a result of his diagnosis and the intensive treatment required, I have had to stop working to be by his side and support him through every step. This has meant exhausting all of my savings and resources, and I am already three months behind on my mortgage, leaving us struggling to cover even the most basic needs. The funds raised will help us with essential expenses like our mortgage, daily living costs, and caring for my other children and my wife. Every contribution will make a real difference in helping us stay afloat during this incredibly challenging time.

To those who have been through something similar, you know how emotionally difficult this is. For those who haven’t, I hope you never have to experience the pain of seeing your own child in these circumstances, where every day counts and every small situation is nerve-wracking. On top of that, having to find time you don’t have to handle life’s external necessities to support your family is incredibly hard. Living between the health and well-being of your child at risk and the well-being of your other dependents is a struggle. Your support means the world to us, and we are deeply grateful for any help you can provide.
