Support for Eli
Donation protected
Hi, I'm Katie and I'm trying to help out my sister Karen. My nephew Eli (age 4) was diagnosed with leukemia at the end of July. Leukemia is thankfully very treatable, but the treatment is intense. To care for Eli, Karen is unable to teach this coming school year. This puts her in a precarious financial position. Let's help reduce some of her stress and worry by helping her pay her mortgage!
This has been a long journey for Karen and her family. In March Eli was at Children's Hospital with low blood counts (hemoglobin, white blood cells, red blood cells). At that time they ruled out leukemia and we thought we dodged a bullet. Eli was eventually diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder called Evans Syndrome. At this point, it isn't clear if the Evans Syndrome caused the leukemia or vice versa, but his leukemia treatment will help both disorders.
