Parents need help while caring for son with aggressive Leukemia treated at St. Jude

Collection Complete September 2019. Thanks to generous contributors, JJCCF’s Financial Assistance / Advocacy / Supportive Care Services Programs and collaborative support from partner charities, this family benefited from having access to basic human needs during a dreadful time.

Letter from Social Worker

I would like to recommend Johan Antigua’s family for your Advocacy Program. Johan is an 8-year-old with known diagnosis of very high risk Leukemia. Johan is currently receiving treatment at St. Jude’s Hospital as well as locally due to the aggressiveness of his cancer. He spent the majority of the first year of his treatment at St. Jude’s Hospital with his Mom. Needless to say that this has been very difficult on the family. His Mom has had to leave her job and his Dad has been having to care for the other 3 children at home and also try and work. Needless to say this all has caused additional stress for both Johan and his family. Any assistance you can provide to assist Johan’s family financially would be greatly appreciated. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you should need any further information.

Yours truly,
Michelle O’Boyle, RN, CPON
