4-May 2023

Charlie - 2 years old - Newly Diagnosed Leukemia My baby boy officially has no more leukemia present in his marrow! So proud of my boy so brave through it all, the journey isn’t over yet though, let's pray that he continues to stay in remission & that he has little to no side effects.

James - 4 years old- leukemia Recent update: Just started Maintenance cycle 2 of treatment. Please pray that James stays on track that he continues to stay in remission and attend school. Update: September 2023 Today is an emotional day, but feel that these are steps in the right direction. Today is James’ 1st day back to school in 11 months! He was beyond excited, and said 'Mommy, today is going to be an EPIC day!!' He was proud to show his class his talking Aflac duck with a port just like him! I couldn't have asked for a better staff to watch over our boy as I have no doubts he is in the best care. God Bless you James and keep you safe! We are so happy for you! Mommy and Daddy and sissy love you more Diagnosed in October 22 Almost 6 weeks ago, our family received devastating news that our son has leukemia. Without the love, prayers, and enormous support from my family, our friends, clients and neighbors this time would be unbearable. We are so grateful to have you all in our lives. Some of you may know, but we are also feeling hopeful that James is currently in remission with MRD (minimal residual disease) left in his bone marrow. Long road still ahead for our family, but we have so much to thank God for today and every day!

Camryn - 6 years old - Leukemia Newly Diagnosed April. Camryn just turned 6 in May. Please pray for Camry treatment has been trying for her. We pray that it gets easier and she is able to tolerate the chemo a little better.

Mason - 4 years old - Leukemia Mason should be finishing up with treatment in December. He just turned 4 with his twin sister Madison. It's been a long and hard treatment with lots of hospital stays, side effects, infections. Let's pray everything stays on track and he will be once and for all cancer free.

DJ

DJ had surgery in Boston in September for the most part the surgery was a success but he had a set back and had to go back because he got an infection. DJ recovered pretty well from that but still requires lots of care from mom with his condition.

Let's pray for his mom who recently had to have emergency surgery for twisted intestines. It's been a rough few years for this family. Audrey has been out of work due to her surgery and having to care for her son with minimal help. Let's pray that mom heals soon and that's Dj stays as healthy as he can.

Juliana - 14 years old - ALL B-Cell Leukemia Juliana was diagnosed in May with ALL Leukemia. She suffered from a lot of complications from the treatment, including Brain Bleed, Rashes and a severe case of pancreatitis. When she left the hospital Juliana was only 75 lbs. In late September Juliana began her 1st Cart T Therapy at Yale. Things have progressed well enough for her to start her 2nd Cart T Therapy at Sloan Kettering in NYC, starting in November. Please pray that the T Cart therapy will be a huge success, and that it will cure Juliana completely. Please pray for a fast recovery, with little to no side effects. Also, pray for her family as they go through this with her, including her sister, who has to have major hip surgery in March.

Kayla - Actrocytoma - Brain Tumor

Diagnosed in February 2022. Had to have brain surgery almost right after diagnosis, to resect as much of the brain tumor as possible. Kayla had 6 weeks of radiation, and as much chemo as her body could tolerate. They had to discontinue the chemo because she developed severe thrombocytopenia and leukopenia.

She started a clinic trial, but had to withdraw because her cancer came back.

In August 2022 had a 2nd brain surgery to resect the recurrent brain tumor, as a start of a new trial. The surgery and the new immunotherapy clinic has been going really well!! There has been few side effects and the area of the tumor site appears to be shrinking.

As many of you can remember, CJ Sparrow's and Kayla's Krew teamed for their Closer to Free Bike Ride, and raised a ton of money for Smilow Cancer Center. Kayla was also able to ride 25 miles, alongside he friends, family, and even 1 of her doctors!!!!

Please continue to pray for Kayla. Pray that this Clinical Trial at Sloan continues to be a huge success, and that Kayla will remain cancer free.

4-May 2023

DJ Update from mom: So, DJ has been having some issues with his ostomy at the moment. I am changing 5 bags per day. We are heading back to Boston on the 15th of this month to see his GI doctor up there. In June, we meet with the Boston surgeon also. The old ostomy has started giving some trouble, so they are going to put him to sleep and see how it is inside. I know he will be having another surgery, but I will know after they go inside. I will keep you posted on that.

Luciana - 14 years old Aplastic Anemia

Just recently had a transplant and is 20 days out and doing well. A rare condition in which the body stops producing enough new blood cells. Aplastic anemia develops as a result of bone marrow damage.

Sara We want to take this opportunity to thank of you for the support and prayers. There are no words to express how much we appreciate all you have done for all of us. Sara's health and her daily care continues to require much attention. It requires to give her various medicines throughout the day and night, as well as caring for her feeding tubes, TPN nutrition, and ileostomy. Sara's syndrome of MMIH, which limits the ability to eat, drink, and void without medical intervention, continues to create new medical and emotional challenges as she gets older. For example, she is starting to question if she will ever be like her friends, who don't have medical issues and dont have daily vomiting episodes. Now that she is in first grade, she is comparing herself with her classmates and sees herself different. Yet, she is happy at school and loves to learn new things. She is very smart and creative. We work hard to give Sara the opportunity to enjoy herself as much as possible. Unfortunately summer brings many challenges for Sara and her health. She loves being outdoors and likes to be active just like any 7 year old, but the heat can dehydrate her quickly and can cause serious medical issues. For summer we need to stay home most of the time. Outdoor parks, pools or beaches are not ideal places for Sara either because of her feeding tubes, TPN and surgeries. She gets upset because of these restrictions but it's for her medical benefit. Still, we are happy that Sara has not had any emergency visits. It has been a long battle, but we continue to work hard with her doctors in order to help keep her growing as healthy as possible. For now we are hopeful that better treatments will be found, so that one day Sara can guarantee a bright future for herself. God bless you all .

Ileana - Brain Tumor

Fantastic news she is in remission with her Brain Tumor and Cancer Free. May God continue to bless her. She will continue to take pills at home and continue to go in for treatments. She still has skin cancer they are treating that. Her liver was affected due to treatment.

Please say prayer for this 13 year old girl who was just diagnosed, Stage 4 rhabdomyosarcoma.

Jadarose

Update from mom: Hello Mrs. Grace, Jada is doing well. Have not heard anything on her CT Scan so I'm assuming it was okay. I just wanted to share this exciting to news with you.

Nathan

Update from Mom: Nathan actually is been sick a lot this year. He now has strep and a strep rash. Please we will take all the prayers because Nathan will need a lot of dental work reconstruction. He also is loosing his right hearing and just found out his mental delay is due to radiation. The positive news is that Nathan will be going to Disney in a couple of weeks. I'm sure he will be extra happy his bday is May 19th and we will be in Disney. Thank you for taking time on checking on Nathan.

Logan, Deer Family, Sara, DJ, Nathan, Keyonna and Shania

27-Sep 2022

Logan's Lemonade Stand Donation On Monday afternoon, Chris and I were on our way to see an amazing 8 year old young man & his family from Logan's Lemonade to receive a generous donation for Charlotte's Web. On our way, we were discussing Dylan as we often do & what do we see is this bright beautiful double rainbow - you always send us signs and always at the right moment. Logan and Danielle Gray Bieling, we truly can't thank you enough for choosing our charity to help children with Cancer. What a truly amazing fine young man you have, Logan has stolen our hearts. Amazing job Logan, keep up the amazing work you're doing. Thank you for all that you do to help local charities.

Deer Family

Please say a prayer for the Deer Family. On Friday evening, Naja went home to be with the Lord after a long battle with Sickle Cell Anemia. Chris, Mallory and Charlotte were able to spend a couple of different days with Naja & her family to spend time with her and do some crafts. When we asked the mom what we could get for Naja, she said “Naja would love to spend sometime with children her own age, she had been in and out of the hospital for the last 7 years, and was unable to spend time at school or home with kids her age.”

The family is doing a Celebration for Naja, instead of a wake, they will have a Fashion Show theme. It is what she wanted and it is going to be “Fabulous” (Naja's favorite word, and she loved Fashion). Please contact Chris if you would like to help donate for the funeral cost ad the Celebration.

Sara This was an update over the summer. Overall Sara is about the same, poor digestion and having to be on TPN nutrition which is not a great option due to side effects but its the only one at the moment which helps. On a good note she loves school and doing as well she can. Sara is ok. We found that Summer is not for some kids with special medical needs. For example, Sara can't be outside for few hours especially if is very hot, she can get dehydrated very fast, she can't get wet. She can't enjoy the beach or pools in general. Her digestion is not moving in the right direction, her intestine is very slow and the only way to keep her nutrition up is her TPN. Probably she is going to have TPN back to 100 percent. The tube feeding is not working as we would like. Please keep praying for her, she is a very smart girl and she started to ask questions about her self that sometimes are very difficult to answer and explain why she is different from everyone else.

DJ - 14 years old Please Pray for DJ as he needs so much care, pray for his mom Audrey for much needed strength and rest while trying to managing College & everything. DJ's Dad passed away a year ago so things have been so tough on this family. Please pray that the Doctors can get some answers on how they can help DJ.more. The good news is we were able to provide cleaning to help Mom get DJ's rooms cleaned, she was so grateful for the help. Thank you Portia. This is Dj. He has Austism and is developmental delayed. He has major GI issues, Chronic Constipation, can't pass air on his own, living with 2 illeostomies, a G tube and a picc line for nourishment. He was very under weight but due to his picc line he has gain weight.

Nathan Praise the Lord, Nathan's MRI results came back and the tumors in the brain and spine are the same size they were in January. Everything is still stable and so he can continue to stay off of his chemotherapy. Duke will scan again in 3-4 months. Thank you all for your continued prayers.

Keyonna I wanted to share the back to School photo of Keyonna who is doing wonderful.

Shania She has a Brain tumor & Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis. Currently still getting treatment, has lots of swelling in her feet and legs, headaches, nausea. Please pray that the side effects lessen, the Doctors are able to shrink the tumor/get rid of it once and for all with her treatment & Shania will stay in remission.

September is:  #ChilhoodCancerAwareness These Milford cuties are going GOLD today to raise awareness, as well honoring the memory of our son #Dylan, #Kaylena, #Finley. Thank you to all the Milford Schools spreading awareness for childhood cancer. We have lost to many children to cancer in Milford. Spread awareness let make a difference, we need more then 4%.

He gave such a valiant fight and with such dignity, made a huge impact on so many lives . No one should have to endure this once let alone many times. Today Let us pray, don't take life for granted. Make a difference, love your loved ones, reach out to those who are dealing with this gut wrenching pain everyday. Let your loved one know you care even when it's hard or you don't know what to do or say. It means more the you ever know coming from a family that understands.

Sara Sara loves school but due to her energy levels she is not very active in school, She gets up several times at night and does not get enough rest, Sara is not responding as we would like to the medical treatment because her digestion is very slow and the doctor believes that COVID affected her condition too. Please continue to pray for her, so that she no longer has TPN and can eat through a feeding tube. We live day by day but for God everything is possible and prayer has a lot of power. Thank you. Congratulations to Sara!! Great Job continue to reach for the stars sweetheart .

Nathan - brain cancer May is Brain Tumor Awareness month. Nathan has been battling brain cancer since 2009 and it spread to his spinal cord in 2011. His tumors have progressed 7 times since the initial diagnosis. He has been on 9 different chemotherapy or targeted treatments with thousands of shots and pills that he has taken. While cancer may scar you physically, mentally and emotionally, there is beauty in each scar. His story is being written with each scan, progression, stability, and treatment. There is hope in spite of each heartache, laughter in every good report and prayer with each impending scan. A cancer diagnosis changes you. You can push through each day waiting for the day to pass or you can find joy in the moments and be thankful for each day you have been given. The month of May is a time to reflect on the journey, mourn with the families whose battles have ended, pray for those still battling, and rejoice with those who are in remission. #prayingforacure #gogreyinmay #braintumorawareness

Izzy - relapse Leukemia Great News Izzy is in Remission: Izzy's counts are all looking good. She has a surgery consult scheduled for Tuesday to get her port removal on the books! As long as we can get surgery scheduled in the next 6 weeks, today was her last port access. Izzy is smart girl, and made sure to negotiate that today's needle to the chest earned her some Boba tea...and a couple of macaroons from her favorite Chewy Boba Company USF. #izzystrong

From DJ's Mom: I do hope all is well with you. Dj is coming along each day. I thank everyone who prayed for him. We don't have a go home date yet. I was told yesterday he won't be able to eat for a long time or drink. The distance between his intestine and his stomach is short so he his having dumping syndrome. He will be fed through is veins but does have a long term effects. They are trying to figure out his feeding will go since he keeps dumping fast as soon as anything goes in. Anyway please keep us in your prayers because I feel so tired physically and emotionally and once again thank you and grace for your love and support and for the works you guys do daily. Sincerely Audrey and David.

Nazear is doing well, will be going on his wish trip in August to St. Thomas.

As you know Finley lost her battle last May. Our thoughts and prayers are with this special family! Recently mom gave birth to Boy Callum Finn — Congratulations & thank you for all your support to CWOP in memory of Finley.

New Diagnosis: 5 year old Boy — AML Leukemia, currently at Yale. Please pray for him and his family.

As you know May is a tough month for many of us who have lost our children. To all those children and all that are still fighting, I ask if you all can help in any way it would be greatly appreciated!! Please share... 8 years ago on May 21st after a 7 year battle with Leukemia we lost our beautiful hero who showed us all no matter what you are going through love like it was your last day! He smiled everyday and touched so many lives, made a difference in such a short life. I just wish he didn't have to suffer so much and I could have traded places with him. Dylan said, “mommy, don't be mad I have cancer I lived a good Life.” Words of a Hero and I was blessed to be his mommy. I stand today to make a difference in the lives of children with cancer . I need your help to make this happen. Thank you all in advance...If you can make a donation, sponsor a sign or donate a raffle prize it would be greatly appreciated. Spread the word, share our page.

Nathan - long battle with brain tumor

So Nathan broke his arm this weekend at a youth retreat. Since he didn't get back until later yesterday evening, we went to the orthopedic doctor this morning. His elbow is broken in two places and it's crisscrossing. They think he is probably going to need to have surgery, but they have contacted Duke to see if a specialist there can look at it and what they recommend. He is one tough kid.

Update:
Nathan just went back for surgery. Dr. Kiernan gave us a few different scenarios of what he may do depending on what they see when they try and put the bones back together. He said there also is the possibility of another surgery being needed after this one. Surgery should be about 1 1/2 hours or so and then we will know more. Thank you all for your continued prayers. Nathan has a great attitude and we have phenomenal doctors. God's got this! "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua‬ ‭1:9‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Sara From Sara's mom: Thank you very much for all your prayers. Sara is a very happy girl and loves school but due to her energy levels she is not very active in school, She gets up several times at night and does not get enough rest, Sara is not responding as we would like to the medical treatment because her digestion is very slow and the doctor believes that Covid affected her condition too. Please continue to pray for her, so that she no longer has TPN and can eat through a feeding tube. We live day by day but for God everything is possible and prayer has a lot of power. Thank you.

Mason He didn't make counts 570 instead of 750. He was supposed to have his 4th round of methotrexate this week and be done with round 4 of chemo but we're on hold until his counts come up. A month before he starts Blina which is a new drug. Please pray that Mason's counts come up and that he is able to be done with round 4 and that he can start his new chemo. Let's also pray that he continues to stay in remission, with no side effects.

Izzy - relapse Leukemia Great News for Izzy. She is now officially done with treatment!! Please continue to pray for Izzy that she stays in remission. 2 years ago, our whole world turned upside down for a second time. We are forever grateful for all the amazing people in our "village" who have helped us through. Now this amazing girl only has 3 days of chemo left!!! #izzystrong #3moredays #childhoodcancer #leukemiaawareness

Caylee Please pray for Caylee who is currently at Yale and has Covid and was intubated. Today, mom says that she is doing a little better and they are lowering the settings on the machine. Please continue to pray she fully heals from Covid and can be removed from the machine.

Marvell - New Diagnosis

Please pray for Marvell...
I began to notice a growth in my neck near the final quarter of the year. At first I didn't take it seriously because I believed it would go away, but after two months, the growth got worse and I started experiencing extreme amounts of pain. I was no longer able to sleep on my back or on my stomach at night or else I'd wake up to extreme pain in those areas in the morning and this finally prompted me to go to my primary doctor. My doctor ran X-rays and blood test but, couldn't find a conclusive answer so he referred me to doctors up at Yale New Haven Hospital. Here they gave me CT Scans, Ultrasounds, and a Biopsy to confirm their suspicions after their evaluations. A week after the biopsy they called us back a gave us the bad news that I'd been diagnosed with Stage 2 Leukemia (Large Diffused B Cell Lymphoma). I was very emotional and the same day I was hospitalized for chemotherapy and I'm currently receiving treatment.

Sara The family all had Covid and all are doing much better. Sara is back at school and doing as well as can be expected.

Thank you from Rowe's family Good morning Grace, I pray all is well with you and I hope you got good rest. Just wanted to give you the praise report. Rowe is home from hospital for special care. We didn't get any nursing but my family and I are making it work. Please let Charlotte's Prayer, the young man that connected us, that we appreciate everything, every prayer, gift card, pjs, toys etc. We thank God for you! God bless!

Nathan Norman - long battle with Brain tumor Praise God, Nathan's tumors look very stable. They have not increased in size or enhancement. He has been on the chemo now for 6 months. He has had a few side effects from the treatment, therefore, since things have been stable the last two scans, we have all decided for him to take a break from the chemotherapy to allow his body to heal. He will continue to have scans every 3 months and if there are any concerns, symptoms, growth or enhancement, then he will start back on this treatment. Thank you all for your continued prayers for Nathan and our family. Psalm 118:17 "I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done."

Izzy last chemo is scheduled for February 28th. Let's pray that once and for all she will be cured of the leukemia. This was her second battle with it.

Grady - 12 years old - Brain/spinal tumor

Please continue to pray for Grady, he has been in Boston for the last 3 months and now has to go back to get chemo in Boston as well. His mom is unable to be with him because she has been very sick with pneumonia it has been a really tough time for all of them. Things haven't been going well. Let's pray that the chemo and radiation Grady receives helps get him in remission.

Sara

Happy 4th Birthday to Sara. Mom says Sara is doing ok. Sara was recently hospitalized due to her stomach condition. Let's pray that she continues to do as well as she can & stay healthy. Pray that the doctors can continue keep her stable.

Izzy - leukemia relapse

We met this Izzy with Dylan at Camp Sunshine. After being in remission after 6 years Izzy has relapsed & now has to start chemo all over again. She has been going through so much & feeling really sick. So far has been in the hospital for several weeks enduring lots of setbacks but the good news is her ANC is 500. Hopefully next week she will be able to go home. Let's pray she continues to have an elevated ANC & when they do the bone marrow aspirate that she is in remission. Pray she is able to stay healthy with minimal to no side effects.

From mom: We know for sure now that Izzy is once again fighting leukemia. We will have an exact diagnosis later today as to which type, but her oncologist suspects it's the same as last time. (A.L.L.) Her counts are too low for surgery so she won't get a port right away. They are going to do a PIC line temporarily and plan to place her port in a few weeks. Tomorrow she will have her marrow aspirate, and a spinal tap and she receives her first dose of chemo. I'm sad, angry, and so many other emotions, but Izzy isn't. She's just brave. She knows she'll beat this again. All children's is doing an amazing job keeping her comfortable and happy, and reassured us that she has really good odds of beating this cancer again.

Julia - 4 years old rare brain tumor

Passed away after a long hard battle.
Julia Caoilainn Adams
December 2, 2016 - March 15, 2020

Please let's pray for the family for peace, understanding, much needed strength....especially her little brother. So saddened by this. May she rest In peace.

Aniylah and Derek

Both are doing well, overall no issues. Recovered well from the flu. Pray they continue to stay healthy.

Irene - bone cancer

Please continue to pray that she does well.
Forgot to update y'all on the lil nodule/mass/lump in my pelvis... They're having me do 6 weeks of PT to see if it helps alleviate discomfort, then we can discuss biopsy and resection. A biopsy and surgery in that area would be a big deal, and not easy to recover from. I don't think I can handle that right now, with everything my body has been through. So I'm willing to try PT. Send good vibes that it's benign please.

Mason

Due to isolation, the family is unable to visit Mason. His surgery was cancelled due to CoronaVirus. Please pray that he continue to stay healthy & soon they will be able to visit Mason.
Message from mom-
It was so painful to leave this smiling face not knowing if it will be days or weeks before I see it again. My eyes hurt from the tears. When you see someone crying over a parade not happening or a concert cancelled or sporting event, remind them to be grateful that this isn't their reality.

Caylee

She Is doing well/ Due to COVID 19 they had to reschedule her Make a wish until next year. Pray she continues to stay Healthy.

Alexa - 17 years old- osteosarcoma/relaps

I met her a few weeks ago to help with some food gift cards. She wasn't feeling well at all and mom was very worried about her relapse. Please pray that they can get her in remission with minimal side effects.

Amanda - leukemia

In treatment since April 2018
Only girl of 3 siblings was in the hospital for quite sometime, had lumbar puncture & it was negative, Thank god. Currently she is also home in isolation until she has to have chemo. We also have helped them with gift cards; due to isolation, parents are unable to work and finances have been extremely difficult. Let's pray they continue to stay healthy & she is able to continue to get treatment. Also so very grateful for the help we were able to provide.

Shania - lymphoma

Doing pretty well; met with mom last week to help with food cards, some toys, & pjs for her & her brother who had a birthday. Mom was so beyond grateful for everything. She said things are tough but hard for her to ask for help, but so grateful that we reached out to help. Please continue to pray that Shania stays healthy.

Carness - lifelong battle with Sickel Cell

With sickle cell disease, an inherited group of disorders, red blood cells contort into a sickle shape. The cells die early, leaving a shortage of healthy red blood cells (sickle cell anemia), and can block blood flow causing pain (sickle cell crisis).
Chris met with family to help with food gift cards because the family is severely in a financial crisis due to her recently having a Bone Marrow Transplant. She is a single mom & has to stay home to take care of her as well as they have to stay in isolation due to CoronaVirus. Carness will also have to have a stem cell Boost.
