Hope, Strength, and Healing for families coping with a child cancer diagnosis

Meet Keaton Kiddo ~ Adrian

Meet sweet boy, Adrian. At just 3-years-old, Adrian began his fight against Acute T-Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia, a blood cancer that is more common in children than it is in adults.

With Adrian’s parents at bedside, Keaton’s team feels honored to support Adrian and his family throughout his journey with the gesture of a financial grant and a Hope Chest created for him and his sister. In the Hope Chest, our wonderful volunteers made sure to incorporate some of Adrian’s favorite interests, such as dinosaurs and monster trucks. Little sister Azaliya was also thrilled to play with her new toys and bond with her big brother!

The Family Navigator team at Keaton’s will continue to support this brave family in their fight for Adrian against childhood cancer!

Eventually, she developed little spots on her hands and unexplained bruises on her body, which the doctors deemed Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), but after seeing an informative TikTok video on the symptoms Ellora was experiencing, her mom’s gut told her it was something more than a bleeding disorder.
