LJ is my 8-year-old cousin who loves playing football and baseball. He’s always been an active kid, full of energy and joy. On the morning of June 28th, LJ woke up feeling very sick and began throwing up. My uncle rushed him to the Emergency Room, where we received the heartbreaking news that LJ has leukemia. He was air lifted from a hospital in Missouri to Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock to begin ongoing chemotherapy and further treatment.

LJ’s journey has been tough, but he’s fighting every day. Once he’s stable enough to be released, he’ll need at-home care and special equipment to help him recover. This means my uncle will have to stay home to care for LJ, making it impossible for him to return to work right now. The funds raised will help cover medical bills, at-home care equipment, and daily expenses so LJ and my uncle can focus on his recovery without worrying about finances.

Anything can help LJ—whether it’s a dollar or ten dollars, or even a simple prayer. Thank you for your time and please help us support LJ as he fights leukemia. Your kindness and support mean the world to our family.
