Meet Oakley Belew—a bright, funny, and endlessly curious 3-year-old who has already captured the hearts of everyone around him. Oakley was recently diagnosed with Wilms tumor, a rare form of kidney cancer, and his journey through chemo treatment has just begun.
Even at such a young age, Oakley shows a strength far beyond his years. He understands that he has cancer, and with so much trust in his mom and dad, he bravely does everything he needs to get better. He somehow keeps the energy up for the world even when it's hard.
Oakley has a gift for making people laugh, and his smart, thoughtful nature shines through every day. He asks endless questions because he wants to learn everything he can about the world around him. He’s especially obsessed with construction vehicles and anything that moves—trucks and diggers, cars and motorcycles, he loves it all.
This sweet boy deserves every chance to keep learning, laughing, and being the bright light he is. Oakley’s treatment will be long and difficult, and his family will face many challenges along the way.
As Oakley goes through treatment, his parents are facing the heavy reality of needing to take time away from work to care for him. Donations will help them cover utilities, groceries, and other basics. This support means his family can focus on what matters most—helping Oakley heal.
Every contribution, no matter the size, eases the burden and brings hope. If you’re not able to give, please consider sharing Oakley’s story so more people can rally around him.
