Her Story

Our sweet Mery—strong, brave, and full of love—has recently been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), a life-threatening cancer that has completely turned our world upside down.

Mery is five years old, and from the day she was born, she has faced tremendous adversity. She was born with Down Syndrome, and her journey has been filled with challenges that she has met with incredible strength and resilience. She has worked so hard to learn and grow, and she's brought so much joy to everyone who knows her.

My daughter-in-law Ruthie left her career when Mery was born to stay home and become Mery's full-time caregiver. She's been her occupational therapist, physical therapist, speech therapist, teacher, and biggest cheerleader. Now, she's also her nurse and constant source of comfort through this fight against cancer.



Mery is now undergoing a rigorous chemotherapy protocol that will last over two years. It includes hospital stays, treatments, procedures, medications with difficult side effects, and periods where her immune system will be extremely vulnerable. The road ahead will be long, uncertain, and incredibly demanding.

How you can help

We are raising funds to help cover:
  • Life-saving chemotherapy and treatments
  • Travel expenses to and from hospital visits, parking, etc.
  • Home cleaning supplies—such as HEPA vacuums for carpet and floors—and HEPA air filtration to keep her environment as safe as possible
  • School and playroom for Mery (since she won't be able to attend kindergarten or likely 1st grade)
  • Special items to bring her comfort during this long journey

Your support will directly ease the heavy burden this diagnosis has brought and help keep Mery wrapped in love, care, and the support she needs to recover.

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated and shared Mery's story. Your kindness and support have truly lifted us during such a difficult time. We are deeply grateful for every gesture-big or small-that's been made on her behalf.

Please continue to share Mery's story if you can. Every share helps us reach more hearts, and it truly makes a difference.
