Cooper's fight

Donation protected
Every year 15,700 chidren are diagnosed with cancer, 7% of them with Lymphoma. In January 2016 our family became another statistic.

Our sweet little Cooper is a loving and strong 3 year old boy who is facing something no child should. 

After battling with their family pediatrician for too long over Cooper's problems his parents knew something wasn't right and pursued the issue farther. At his first appointment with Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh they found him to be in dire need of a blood transfusion. The very next day we got the heartbreaking news that a mass was found in his abdomen.

On January 14, 2016 Cooper underwent surgery to remove the mass as well as part of his intestines, and to have a biopsy performed on the tumor. The surgery was successful in removing the entire tumor.

However the news of the biopsy was not what we had all hoped for. Cooper was diagnosed with Burkitt's Lymphoma. He will be undergoing treatment at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, which is almost 2 hours from his home. 

Cooper's father is self-employed so will receive no pay for the time he takes off to be with family. His mother needs to be by his side and at this point will also not be compensated from her job. This donation page was set up by family to help them cover the costs of travel, lodging, and to help care for their family.

Cooper has three brothers who desperately need him to get better and a very loving and supportive family that is cheering him on. Please help us help them.
