My son Jacob was in remission for two years after bravely battling cancer. In February, our world changed when we learned that his cancer had returned. Because Jacob has Down syndrome, the traditional treatments that helped before are no longer effective, and we’ve been advised to pursue a new treatment option that gives us hope.

This journey is filled with challenges—emotionally, physically, and financially. The costs of travel for treatment, mounting medical bills, and finding ways to keep Jacob’s spirits up all add up quickly. Every bit of support will help us focus on what matters most: giving Jacob the best chance at recovery and making sure he has moments of joy along the way.

If you’re able, please support Jacob in this journey. Your kindness will not only help our family, but also inspire other families facing similar battles with Down syndrome and leukemia. Together, we can help Jacob and others like him find a cure and stay in remission forever.
