Story
Jose, 11-years-old, The Children’s Hospital at Palms West
Jose was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma – a rare cancerous tumor that grows in the bones or in the tissue surrounding the bones. He has bravely endured surgery and intensive chemotherapy. Jose and his expecting mother traveled multiple times per week for his critical medical care and responded well to treatment.
Needs
Jose’s parents plea for help in paying food and gas for transportation to the hospital, utilities and rent during this difficult time. Mother had to stop working at a fast food restaurant to care for Jose full time and get him to his medical appointments. She also is consumed with the care of her recently delivered baby boy. Father did not have an income for a couple of months due to COVID-19. He is a truck driver trying to maintain his job while caring for two other sons. The family is facing hard times battling childhood cancer while caring for a newborn.
