Support James Ellison Jr.’s Brave Fight Against Hodgkin Lymphoma

Hello everyone,

My name is Yvonne, and I’m reaching out as the proud but heartbroken mother of 16-year-old James Ellison Jr., who was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkin Lymphoma.

We received this news less than a month ago, and as you can imagine, it has turned our world upside down. Despite everything, James continues to face each day with incredible strength, faith, and that bright smile that lights up every room. His courage gives all of us hope — even on the hardest days.

James’s Journey

James will soon begin intensive treatment to fight this disease. During this time, he won’t be able to attend school or enjoy many of the things a teenager should — hanging out with friends, playing outside, or simply living carefree.

As a family, we are doing everything we can to stay strong for him, but the emotional and financial toll is heavy. Between medical expenses, hospital visits, travel for treatment, and time off work, the costs are quickly adding up.

How You Can Help

We’ve created this GoFundMe to help relieve some of the financial strain so James can focus fully on healing and recovery. Every donation — no matter how small — goes directly toward:

• Medical bills and medications

• Hospital stays and treatment costs

• Travel and living expenses during treatment

• Lost income from time off work to care for James

If you’re unable to donate, sharing James’s story or keeping him in your prayers means just as much. Every prayer, message, and act of kindness lifts his spirit and reminds us we are not alone in this fight.

From Our Family to Yours

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, compassion, and support. Your generosity brings hope and strength to James and our entire family.

Please keep James in your prayers as he begins this journey — and thank you for standing with him.

With gratitude and love,

The Ellison Family
