Help Children with Cancer Access Treatment!

In July we asked for your support for Katya who is treated in Germany.  Since then we were able to raise $2,000 and forward the money toward lodging costs.  Katya and her family are very grateful to everyone!

We have recently met another young patient here in Houston.  Angelina is such a happy little girl that it is hard to believe she has already had to face two different cancer diagnoses in just three years of life.  First it was neuroblastoma that showed its symptoms in infancy.   The treatment was very difficult and toxic, with many complications.  Angelina learned to walk in the hospital and she celebrated her first birthday there.  Once the treatment was over, Angelina's family was eager to leave the bad memories behind.  Unfortunately, soon after her second birthday, cancer returned.  This time, it was a brain tumor.   Angelina had surgery and more chemotherapy to combat it.  She is now being transplanted her own stem cells to make sure that cancer does not come back.   Angelina's mom asked us for help with paying for medications and medical expenses, as the family's financial means are limited.  

Thank you for your support for our little patients!   All the families we work with appreciate not only the financial help, but also the knowledge that perfect strangers are willing to join them in their battle.  It is very empowering and we cannot thank you enough for staying with us.
