Our dear friends, Rob and Nicole Napolitano, are facing the unimaginable - and their family needs our love and support.

On November 24, their oldest son Tony (5) was rushed by ambulance from St. Catharines to McMaster Children’s Hospital after what initially appeared to be complications from asthma. After many hours of tests and invasive procedures, doctors delivered devastating news: Tony has cancer.

On November 26, Tony was diagnosed with T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL) — an aggressive blood cancer in which immature white blood cells multiply rapidly in the bone marrow and spread throughout the body. Treatment must begin immediately, and Tony has already started chemotherapy.

The road ahead will be long and challenging. Tony will undergo 6–8 months of intensive treatment, followed by 2.5 years of ongoing chemotherapy. While supporting Tony through this fight, Rob and Nicole are also caring for their 3-year-old son Frankie, and their newborn Johnny, who is just 3 months old.

We are reaching out to friends, family, and our community to help ease the burden on the Napolitano family during this unimaginable time. Funds raised will help reduce financial stress while Nicole is on maternity leave and Rob steps away from work to remain by Tony’s side. Your support will allow them to focus their energy where it is needed most: Tony’s treatment and their family’s well-being.

Tony is strong, brave, and incredibly resilient - and we know he will face this battle with everything he has.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and donating. Please continue to keep the Napolitano family in your hearts, thoughts, and prayers.
