<div>Santiago, or "Santi," was diagnosed with terminal osteosarcoma at just 12 years old. Like a true gladiator, he bravely fought for four years. He underwent numerous treatments, including the amputation of his left leg, always with his mom by his side. In his own words, he "never backed down." Despite his tenacity and attending research trials at St. Jude's in Memphis, the cancer overwhelmed him. He lost his battle on May 15th at the young age of 16.
</div>
<div>His family, who spent and gave everything to provide him with the best care and comfort, is now struggling to fund the Catholic funeral Santi would have wanted. This heartbreaking situation has left them in desperate need of our support. His community is now asking for your help. Your generosity will honor Santi's memory and provide his family with the closure and celebration they deserve. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

<div>Santiago, o "Santi", fue diagnosticado con osteosarcoma terminal a tan solo 12 años. Como un verdadero gladiador, luchó con valentía durante cuatro años. Se sometió a numerosos tratamientos, incluyendo la amputación de su pierna izquierda, siempre con su madre a su lado. En sus propias palabras, "nunca se rajo." A pesar de su tenacidad y de asistir a ensayos de investigación en St. Jude's en Memphis, el cáncer lo abrumó. Perdió la batalla el 15 de mayo a la temprana edad de 16 años.
</div>
<div>Su familia, que lo dio todo para brindarle la mejor atención y consuelo, ahora lucha por financiar el funeral católico que Santi hubiera deseado. Esta desgarradora situación los ha dejado con una necesidad desesperada de nuestro apoyo. Su comunidad ahora solicita su ayuda. Su generosidad honrará la memoria de Santi y le brindará a su familia el cierre y la celebración que merecen. Gracias de todo corazón.

when winning is <strong>everything...</strong> <br />Please Join <strong>TEAM RASHID!</strong> <br /><br />Just two months into 7-year-old Rashid’s highly anticipated second grade year he would learn the insignificant lump on the inside of his leg was malignant…<strong>cancer!</strong> His biopsy was sent from Boise to Washington and California to confirm the findings. A few days later Rashid was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). RMS is a rare malignant tumor of the muscles that are attached to the bones. Rhabdomayosarcoma spreads quickly so Rashid’s intensive treatments began right away. During the initial consultation with the doctor, Rashid identified ‘missing school’ amongst his biggest concerns. Despite two invasive surgeries, multiple rounds of chemo/radiation treatments, regular blood draws and scans Rashid insisted on coming to school every single chance he got. When he came he was positive and full of light. <br /><br />When he finished his first round of treatment in the spring we were all very hopeful and positive his first scan would show NED (No Evidence of Disease). The last week of school he was looking physically exhausted and showing cold like symptoms. When I asked how he was feeling, in his reassuring voice he said, “don’t worry, I just have a little cold, I’m fine”. On the last day of school, his skin was very pale and his eyes had dark circles under them...<br /><br />Ten days later we would learn the cancer had spread to his lung. Although Rashid was looking so forward to a treatment free summer with family and friends, he did not complain, he just wanted to do whatever he had to do to get rid of the cancer once and for all. <br /><br />5 months later...<br />With an unwavering positive attitude and determined spirit, Rashid spent the majority of June up until just a few weeks ago in intensive treatment. When Rashid and his Mom went to his appointment to find out his scan results they were informed the cancer had spread to multiple distant areas. This devestating news was followed by the very difficult conversation regarding the reality that, they have done all they can for him. Rashid came back to school after his scan, his teacher asked him, "how did it go?" in his sweet voice he said, "promise you won't be sad? ...I'm going to die." The news broke the hearts of all of us who are blessed to know him. Taking him home to Iraq to spend his last months with his family, who he hasn’t seen since he was 2, was the only plan left...<br /><br />Feelings of defeat and still in shock over the reality of the situation, Rashid’s Mother went to the doctor to discuss palliative care and seek permission for Rashid to travel. What she thought was the worst day of her life, took a positive turn when a very well known, highly respected Pediatric Oncologist from Seattle called and offered to take over Rashid’s treatment! He requested his Mom have him in Seattle the following day. Rashid and his family flew to Seattle right after his going away party with his classmates. <br /><br />During the appointment with his new doctor, a biopsy of his lung tissue was taken. Over the next few days they will use the extracted tissue to determine which chemo the cancer responds to. Rashid will return to Seattle on Nov. 30th and will spend the month of December in treatment. <br /><br />Up until now, Rashid’s Mom has respectfully declined offers for monetary assistance. She was informed today that the chemo treatments he will be receiving in Seattle are not covered by insurance since they are considered to be a 'new chemo'. Please consider donating to this family to help with their medical expenses and to support Rashid as he continues his courageous fight for healing. If you are unable to donate financially please send prayers/positive thoughts to Rashid.<br /><strong> </strong><br /><strong>Beautiful Rashid,<br />Yesterday on 12/26/2015 you moved on to a whole new pain/chemo/cancer free journey. You were taken from us far, far too soon. We cannot wrap our minds around this tremendous loss we are feeling, we don't understand why, we ponder the what if's, some of us are still in shock, and some of us are just counting our blessings for knowing you. Your warrior spirit made a big impression on the people you knew, the people you crossed paths with and on perfect strangers. We all miss you dearly my sweet friend. We will never, ever forget you and will be better people for knowing you and knowing of you. Rashid, you ARE indeed EPIC and we will be epic in your honor.<br />Rest peacefully Super Kid...</strong><br /><br /><br />*An account has been set up so all donations go directly to the family. <br /><br />Thank you so much for your generosity and kindness to Rashid and his family during this very, very  difficult time.<br /><br /><strong>Click on the link below to watch Rashid’s 'Special Day' video! </strong>Made possible by the amazing folks at Camp Rainbow Gold, Boise Police Department, Boise State football, Zoo Boise, Sidewayz films, and the many others for making Rashid’s dream of becoming a police officer a reality.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://vimeo.com/140734578" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://vimeo.com/140734578</a>

Jenny works as a neonatal intensive care nurse and Jake is a young entrepeanuer with a start-up company. <br /><br />After years of infertility and many fertility treatments they decided to finally try IVF and used all of their savings to try to have a child.  They were lucky enough to get pregnant with their little baby girl Addison last September. <br /><br />This past Tuesday, Addison was born at 32 weeks--just 7 weeks shy of when they had eagerly expected her to arrive--but not before they were informed that Addison had suddenly passed away inutereo the previous day. Jenny had to be induced into labour and after 26hrs, Addison Capri Englehorn was born on April 14th at 1:38pm weighing a perfect 3lbs 14oz. Jake and Jenny feel so blessed to have been able to hold their little angel for 2 days before they had to leave the hospital. <br /><br /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/4260273_1429580528.9429_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /><br /><br />Now they return home to their quiet house with a lot of healing to do.  As the pratical realities begin to set in (baby stuff to be returned, funeral costs and significant medical bills to be paid) Jenny and Jake need your help! <br /><br />As friends of Jenny and Jake, we appreciate any amount of help and support you can provide to hopefully make this healing process a little less stressful. <br /><br />Until we meet again sweet baby girl at the gates of heaven you are forever in our hearts. <br /><br />-friends of Jenny and Jake Englehorn.
