Hi my name is Jaden Maxwell I’m 10 years old. I live in Wilmington California. I go to Gulf Avenue Elementary. My teachers name is Mrs. Anaya. She is the best teacher I ever had. My principal is Mr. Soto. He is super fun and funny and I always win him on the board game SORRY. Lol
On October 18, 2019 when I was at school I started feeling stomach pain. I ignored it all day until I got to the after school program. I started feeling like I couldn’t breathe or walk. It hurt really, really bad. I asked my staff if she can call my mommy or my step Dad Ray because I couldn’t walk or breathe. The pain was coming and going so it was hard for my parents to believe that it was serious. The pain would go away for hours and then come strong for 45 mins. Or more. My parents took me to the hospital and we waited for hrs. When the Dr. came and told us we had to be transferred to a different hospital because I had a large mass in my stomach. I had to get on a bed and go in an ambulance truck to the other hospital. I have been at children’s hospital of Los Angles ever since. After so many test, 2 surgery’s and so many painful Needles. On November 5, 2019 at 8am my life changed completely. My Dr. sat with my mom and me to tell me that I had cancer neuroblastoma cancer. She asked me if I had any questions. I said no. I then asked my dr. If I was going to lose my hair and look like the kids in the waiting room. She said yes and I cried but just a little. I also asked the Dr. If I was going to die? She told me she couldn’t say yes or no because she didn’t know. She told me she would never lie to me. She said she knew one thing for sure and that thing was that she and the team was going to fight there hardest to help save me. My mom ask me every day do I have questions. , do I feel ok? I always say no and I’m fine. Everyone always wants to know how I feel, what I think? Do I know? So I decided to write a letter. In my journal.
Dear God, my parents and those who love me,
I want to start off by saying that I will be writing every day and recording myself every day during my journey fighting this cancer. This is something that I, my family and friends can look back to see. I want to be honest and say yes! Yes I do have a lot of questions but I don’t asked them because I know that no human can answer my questions. My questions are: Why did this happen to me? Will I die? Will God heal me? Will I have pain? Will people look at me wired? Will I lose my friends? Will I graduate? My mom says we have to respect what Gods plan is for our lives. She also said God sent me to her so she can raise me and guide me in his path. She always tells me I’m an angel in training. So when God needs an Angel he calls whoever he feels is ready. I have a baby sister who is with God already. I am not ready but if God needs me I will help him. I am really sad about losing my hair. I like my hair. Girls look pretty with long hair not bold. If I grow up to be a strong healthy woman I will help kids like me with cancer. I will help them fight and smile like me. If I grow up and I have thousands of dollars, my money will always help homeless people. God why am I sick? I love helping people not hurting them. One last thing I want to say to all the people who have cancer or all the homeless or anyone who feels sad talk to God I promise it will help. It will help because God will give you the answers you need. Maybe not when you want but remember you have to respect his time and purposes. For my mommy don’t be sad I will be ok. Please stop being so sad. We will pray every day together.
Love always,
Jaden Maxwell
Hi everyone my name is Evelyn Gadson. I’m Jaden’s mom. I allowed Jaden to share her story because I wanted you all to see her strength. She has not stop smiling since the day of her stomach pain. We are here today humbly asking for help. Any donation will be appreciated from the bottom of all of our hearts. We got a call and they canceled all of her treatments and visits. Our insurance is not covering all of her medication, treatments, test and visits. The hospital is not wanting to transfer her to any other facility because Jaden’s case is rare, it’s aggressive, it’s an emergency to start chemotherapy treatments they have never seen a case like Jaden’s. pleaseeee help me fight to save Jaden.
Sincerely,
Evelyn Gadson
