Conoce a Keaton Kiddo ~ Flor

Conoce a Flor. Tiene dos años y le gusta colorear, jugar con juguetes y sus animales de peluche. Blossom, una hija soltera, y su madre recibieron la desafortunada noticia de que le diagnosticaron leucemia linfoblástica aguda, un cáncer que afecta los glóbulos blancos, en mayo de 2021. Teniendo un fuerte vínculo con su madre y un gran apoyo familiar, Blossom continúa recibiendo tanto amor y afecto mientras continúa su batalla contra el cáncer infantil. A pesar de su diagnóstico, sigue siendo una niña fuerte y valiente, ¡y su dulce personalidad continúa brillando!

Nuestro equipo de Family Navigator tuvo el placer de conocer a Blossom y su madre durante la entrega de Hope Chest en un hospital local. ¡Durante la entrega, nuestro equipo tuvo la oportunidad de colorear, jugar y ver a Blossom abrir su Hope Chest! Blossom y su mamá también pasaron por la oficina de Keaton para recoger su subvención financiera que apoyará con el transporte para garantizar que Blossom pueda llegar al tratamiento de manera segura. ¡Esta dulce niña y todos los Keaton Kiddos continúan tocando nuestros corazones y motivándonos a mantener nuestra misión en movimiento y luchar contra el cáncer pediátrico!

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Incredible Partners for Your Generosity!

Thanks to your support, a family preparing for a four-month stay in the Bay Area for a life-saving stem cell transplant now has the essential items they need, including diapers, Visa gift cards, luggage, and clothing. Your kindness allows them to focus entirely on their child’s treatment without the added burden of securing basic necessities.

Honoring Joy on National Down Syndrome Day

Today, on National Down Syndrome Day, we recognize that children with Down Syndrome are 10 to 20 times more likely to develop leukemia. This unique connection between childhood cancer and Down Syndrome—a reality for many families, including our beloved Keaton’s Kiddo, Joy.

While the focus is understandably on the child battling cancer, siblings face their own emotional challenges. They may experience feelings of worry, fear, confusion, or even guilt, and it’s important to acknowledge their role and provide support for them as well.
