Support Ruby Oliver and her family

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

We have set up this page on behalf of Ted and Grace Oliver while they are navigating a diagnosis of their youngest child. Ruby is a vivacious 4-year-old girl who has recently been diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Ruby's journey began unexpectedly after she experienced a few days of intermittent fever and sudden, debilitating leg pain the first weekend in July, leading to a diagnosis only a few days later that has turned their world upside down.

Ruby has two older siblings, Zeke and Jane, who are staying with their grandparents as Ruby undergoes treatment. Her initial stay at Cincinnati Children’s is likely to last several weeks. Grace homeschools Zeke and Jane, so the separation has been confusing and emotional for all of the kids. Ted, as the sole financial provider for the family, is doing his best to balance work with being present with Grace, Ruby, Zeke and Jane. They are all stretched thin and leaning on the generosity of family and friends who have rallied around them.

Ruby adores the Mario movie and dreams of being as strong and brave as Princess Peach. Ruby's treatment plan, however, is daunting, likely stretching over several years with intensive chemotherapy, frequent hospital visits, and ongoing medical care. While she began treatment quickly, her doctors are diligently adjusting her therapy to give her the best possible chance at beating this disease. We anticipate there will be additional twists and turns ahead as we strive toward recovery.

How You Can Help

Your support is crucial now more than ever. The financial burden of Ruby's medical expenses is significant (even after insurance), and any contribution you can make will directly assist her family during this challenging time. Your donations will cover treatment costs, medical bills, gas for the daily back-and-forth trips from home to the hospital, and other essential expenses that will ease the Oliver family's worries and allow them to focus on Ruby's care. We also anticipate that there will be long-term costs associated with extended treatment and the possibility of recurrence even after successful remission.

Please join us in rallying around Ruby and her family with love, prayers, and financial support. Your kindness will make a meaningful difference in Ruby's journey towards recovery.

Thank you for being a part of Ruby's support network during this difficult chapter. Your generosity and compassion provide hope and strength to Ruby and her family as they fight this battle together.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Friends and Family of the Olivers
