On July 9, 2025, our vibrant 7-year-old Marley was diagnosed with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL), a life-changing moment no family is ever truly prepared for. She began chemotherapy immediately at SickKids Hospital, where her team is working tirelessly to bring her into remission.

Marley’s prognosis is hopeful, but the road ahead is long. Her treatment will span over 2 years, beginning with intensive chemotherapy, spinal treatments, and frequent hospital visits. Throughout this journey, she’ll need daily care, immune protection, emotional support, and most of all the unwavering presence of her family.

We are very grateful for the help we’ve already received from our local community, government programs, and incredible organizations stepping in to support Marley. That support means the world to us.

But even with that help, there are many costs that fall outside what’s covered, and every bit of support we receive will help us focus more fully on Marley’s healing.

Why We’re Asking for Help

Her parents, Adam and Anna, are now balancing Marley’s complex treatment schedule with caring for their three other children and two dogs, while trying to manage everyday life and stay afloat financially.

This fundraiser will help them cover:

How You Can Help

Whether it’s $10 or $100, every donation makes a difference. If you can’t contribute financially, please consider sharing this page to help us reach others who can.

Marley is strong, joyful, and so full of life. With your help, her family can focus fully on her recovery, not just her illness.

Let’s lift them up together. Thank you for your love, support, prayers, and generosity.
