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

Meet Keaton Kiddo ~ Blossom

Meet Blossom. She is two years old and enjoys coloring, playing with toys and her stuffed animals. A single child, Blossom and her mom received the unfortunate news that she was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, a cancer that affects white blood cells, in May 2021. Having a strong bond with her mom and great surrounding family support, Blossom continues to receive so much love and affection as she continues her battle against childhood cancer. Despite her diagnosis, she remains a strong, spunky little girl and her sweet personality continues to shine through!

Our Family Navigator Team had the pleasure of meeting Blossom and her mom during their Hope Chest Delivery at a local hospital. During the delivery, our team got the opportunity to color, play and see Blossom open her Hope Chest! Blossom and her mom also stopped by our Keaton’s office to pick up their financial grant which will support with transportation to ensure Blossom can safely get to treatment. This sweet girl, and all Keaton Kiddos, continue to touch our hearts and motivate us to keep our mission in motion and stand against pediatric cancer!

Since receiving this diagnosis, Dallas’s family had to quickly adapt to the challenges that many families face with a childhood cancer diagnosis.

Meet Keaton’s Kiddo – Angelee

Let us celebrate Angelee for reaching her maintenance milestone and returning to school. Keaton’s has been part of Angelee’s journey since she was first diagnosed about a year ago. We have been able to see Angelee grow and get to know what an amazing 8-year-old she is. We have enjoyed connecting with her extremely supportive family that have been with every step of the way, and we are honored to be a part of their support system.

“It started as a normal weekend for us and ended with Jaylen being in the hospital for two weeks. Thankfully, we noticed the signs his body was showing us, petechiae and lots of random bruises, that something was not right.”
