Hi, my name is Angela and last week our family received news that no family ever expects to hear.

August 6th my sweet 6-year-old nephew, Kane was diagnosed with a Wilms tumour, a form of childhood kidney cancer. What started as concerns about sporadic vomiting and a distended abdomen quickly turned into a diagnosis that has changed life for Kane and his entire family overnight.

August 10th Kane’s surgical team performed a challenging 7.5 hour surgery to remove the cancer along with his kidney. The large tumor has been sent for further testing, those results will give his oncology team a much clearer picture of what comes next. They have been informed his treatment plan will include both radiation and chemotherapy,

In the days and months ahead, Kane’s parents (Tamara and Luke) will be focused on one thing: being beside their boy and helping him fight this.

With treatment comes time away from work, travel to and from the children’s hospital, meals on the go, separation from Kanes siblings, along with so many unexpected expenses that come when normal life suddenly gets put on hold.

So many people have already asked, “How can we help?” This is one tangible way.

I have created this GoFundMe to help take some of the financial pressure off Kane’s family so they can put their energy where it belongs on Kane, his healing, and being together as a family.

If you’re able to give, no amount is too small. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page and praying for Kane and his family means more than you know.

Above everything, we are holding tightly to our faith and trusting that God is sovereign, even here. We are praying boldly for healing, strength for Kane, wisdom for his medical team, and peace for his family in the days ahead.

Kane has a whole army standing behind him.

Thank you for loving Tamara, Luke, Bayleigh, Scottie and Kane, praying with us, and helping carry them through this unimaginable season.

with love,

Angela.
