Conoce a Keaton Kiddo ~ Kevin

Conoce al Kiddo de Keaton, Kevin. Kevin es un chico increíble de dieciocho años que es tan dulce y amable. A Kevin le gusta jugar videojuegos y estar al aire libre. Kevin ha sido diagnosticado recientemente con leucemia mieloide aguda (LMA), un tipo de cáncer de la sangre y la médula ósea con exceso de glóbulos blancos inmaduros.

A lo largo de su viaje, Kevin ha sido un niño tan fuerte y positivo. Kevin ha estado internado en el hospital, ya que su casa está a unas tres horas de distancia. Sus padres son sus principales cuidadores y realizan viajes de ida y vuelta de seis horas para visitarlo y permanecer al lado de Kevin en cada paso del camino.

Para apoyar este largo viaje, los Family Navigators de Keaton proporcionaron a la familia de Kevin tarjetas Arco Gas y compartieron experiencias llenas de alegría con un Hope Chest para él y sus dos hermanos Alondra y Daniel. Kevin y su familia estaban muy emocionados y apreciaban todos sus regalos.

La brillante sonrisa y la personalidad positiva de Kevin hacen que su familia siga adelante. El equipo de Keaton continuará apoyando a Kevin, sus hermanos y padres mientras continúan navegando en su viaje contra el cáncer infantil.

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.
