Our sweet Pollyanna Kay just turned 5 years old, and our world changed overnight. What started as a simple doctor’s visit for a cold quickly turned into an emergency trip to Texas Children’s Hospital, where we learned Polly has Leukemia. We are so grateful for the incredible care she’s receiving, but we’ve been told to prepare for a long hospital stay and a challenging two and a half year road ahead of treatments. The treatments will be 1-3 times a week in downtown Houston, while we live 3 hours from here in Lufkin. It will be challenging, but we are ready to give this all we got!!

Polly is a bright, loving baby girl who loves Jesus and brings so much joy to everyone she meets! This sudden change has been especially hard on her—she’s struggling with all the tests and procedures, and she misses her little sister Birdie, her brother, and the comfort of home. As parents, we’re doing everything we can to stay strong for her, but the emotional and financial stress is overwhelming. We’re working to bring Birdie closer so our family can be together, but the costs of housing, travel, food, and everyday bills are quickly adding up.

We’re reaching out for help as we navigate this difficult time. Your support will go directly toward keeping our family together and covering the many expenses that come with a long hospital stay. We are holding onto faith and trusting in God’s plan, and we ask for your prayers for Polly and our family. Thank you for any way you can help—whether through a prayers, donations, or helpful tips. Your kindness means the world to us. We love you!
